V-Ray compatible with Modo 10.2 ?

[danklife]

Newb question, do we need to install the nightly build on render nodes / slaves as well to use it? Anything I need to know about that or install as usual? Thanks!

Most changes affect the Modo Ui Version. Renderslaves use the Standalone. As long as there is no Version change for the Vray core I don't think, but in general its not a bad idea. Sadly so Vray has no auto-update function that does that.

Thanks Robert, after I finish a client project tomorrow I'll install and report back. >crosses fingers<

It's safer to update the render nodes as well. I sometimes make changes to the V-Ray core/plug-ins to support features in MODO.
If you don't update the render nodes you will get mixed buckets in such cases.

Vladimir, I know you have a lot to do, but how difficult would be to make Vray auto update when network rendering?
You already have most tools ready, so a version query before rendering and then copy the latest libs wouldn't be so difficult.. I know that feature from a net render solution and it works like a charm.

I won't have time for this. The V-Ray Cloud team is working on a solution for this, and they are beta testing it together with V-Ray for Revit.
It has more features than what you described, I think.

Sounds good.. Maybe an own V-Ray Network render solution isn't so far.

Hi Vladimir,

I downloaded vray_beta_30007_modo_mavericks_x64_SOFTWARE_LIC from the nightly page which is dated June, but I get an error message "This program requires superuser privileges. You should either run it as root, or use 'sudo' to run it. I am not that knowledgable to approach loading an installer as indicated. So I re downloaded "vray_adv_34001_modo_mavericks_x64-2.dmg"and reinstalled vray it loads in modo 10.1 but still not in 10.2.

How do I get it available in 10.2?
