V-Ray 3.6 Modo update please.

[Mnoloconic]

Hi guys, does anyone know when Modo will be getting the vray 3.6 update? I may have missed news somewhere but I did have a browse online and couldn?t find anything.
Would be nice to be kept in the loop

thanks

Hey all,

Thank you for the post. We're working on the next major update so stay tuned for further news.

Cheers,

Cool Beans - hopefully soon. I wish we had the focus as much or near to many other apps.

New forum user, and not owner of a vray license yet, so I'm not really entitled to complain about anything (I rarely do at all).

But when I see that Vray 3.6 was released - if I'm not entirely mistaken - in june 2017 for 3DSMax, and then see that in january 2018 this release is still not available for Modo users (I am a Modo user), this definitely prevents me from buying a license in the first place (I almost bought one on a resellers site today, but decided to research some more first).

Feels like 2nd class customers to me, doesn't it?

The roll outs certainly favour the larger user base of each host platform, but that's missing the point really. Vray is a fantastic render engine with constant updates because of the larger user base. There's also a huge amount of resources online, that apply across the various platforms.

I like Modo, but the render engine has had no significant updates for several releases now...

We do have a nightly build based on the 3.6 core since yesterday.
It includes the GPU/CPU hybrid rendering and full light select, so you can test those.

Note: I forgot to update the build numbers and it still says 3.52, will update that for the next nightly.

Hi vlad, my link I use to use for the nightly builds just takes me to my active servers etc. Could you please give me the correct link? I usually just type into google vray nightlies and the first result where I sign in is usually where I find my builds available but it just seems to take me to a different page with a license portal

That's the link : https://nightlies.chaosgroup.com/mai...oshi/nightlies
If you can't see them, you need to request access from support@chaosgroup.com

Well as we all know I can't seem to still get vray to use my egpu. I looked at some new features of 3.6 in sketch and one of the first things mentioned is about the ability to be able to change the gpu. Please, Please can we have this in the modo version??

I've been only using the Production render for animations, have just started looking at the RT / Hybrid options with v-ray standalone.

Just wondering how additional CPU nodes might help with the main machines GPU hybrid rendering?
I have 3 render nodes, so hoping these won't go to waste with the hybrid route.

Basically unsure If I should purchase some 1080ti cards for my cMP, or stick to adding extra machines in a farm and stick with production render?

Sorry for hijacking this thread!
