Hello boriskalex,
Thank you for reaching out to Chaos.

Please disable Embree in the settings (example) and try rendering your scene. Note that Embree has to be disabled in each of your scenes (the setting is per project, not global). Note that disabling Embree will not affect quality, though render time might slow down.
This is the simplest workaround for the time being, we will notify you once there is a fix available.

Additionally, please keep in mind that running V-Ray for Rhino in Parallels might lead to some issues because Rhino itself is not supported on Parallels. For streamlined workflow with V-Ray please consider Windows machine if possible.

Thanks a lot Natalia, I do understand Rhino on parallel is not the best option. unchecked Embree works.. but only for one render at the time. I have to stop Rhino and start again each time for each render. .. maybe you have an other tip to share?

Disabling the option should work for each render for the current project, perhaps try to save your file with new settings and see if it works differently when you reopen it.

Otherwise there are two other options to consider, if you try any of the two let us know if it works.

Reinstall Microsoft Visual Redistributable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cp...-2019-and-2022
Download and install the X64 https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe version. Once installed please restart your machine and try using V-Ray in a new scene and then in your scene to see if the error is still reproducible.

If this does not help please download embree-4.3.3.x64.windows.zip from this website https://github.com/RenderKit/embree/releases/tag/v4.3.3
In the bin folder locate embree_info.exe file. Start Command Prompt (type cmd in Windows Search) and drag&drop embree_info.exe into the command prompt window and click Enter. (Video example)
Note that if the RDRAND line is missing (see here the example) it means that your best option is to upgrade your BIOS.
