Vlado, please help: Rhino users need you

[Travis Serio_cg]

I am very sad to hear about the Baltimore office. As a V-Ray for Rhino user since it was beta, a member of the team that helped create V-Ray for Matrix and a person that worked very closely with the Baltimore team almost daily, I hope the next generation of leadership on this product will be as passionate about it as they were.

That said, I also agree with the posts made by others. There are several changes that have made daily usage almost unusable and v2 is the much preferred version at this point even with the new features that are working.

Some items that I would like to add to the list of problems are..

Locking the exposure so that it doesn't change with the viewport dimensions or camera length. (this is crippling me the most currently, if its hiding in the UI i can't easily find it).

Per object map evn / reflect / refract overrides will often have different exposure levels than objects without overrides, especially when utilizing a light dome.

Bring back subdivision level settings for glossiness in the UI.

Those items would be greatly appreciated if they returned and or worked again.

We, (designstudio: 5 designers) recently updated to V3.4. As I am responsible for the upgrade, I get everyday angry feedback about the interface and its issues discussed above. Another problem I would mention is the material switch. Nearly every time, I will change a material by layer, the new material is not accepted and changed in the first try. I have to do the same routine twice until the material changed in the Rhino Layer stats.

Another problem with the Aerial light. When this is activated and I have a light, which is set to "invisible", I get a ghosting of the light shape. So the "invisible" option becomes actually useless.

We are looking forward to see V3.6

Another point to add: When I am setting up the resolution, I am missing the Preset Buttons for FHD, 4K, 800x600 etc.. These very very helpful to switch between test renderings and production. Besides, the Aspect Ratio is always forcing the actual resoltion. (even, when its set to "custom") When I want to switch to a very wide picture, for example, I have to figure out the right aspect ratio first, before I get my final resolution. So, we need the option "Lock Aspect Ratio" back, to unlock this feature.

Thank you guys.

V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp is scheduled for release at some point in October, definitely before the end of that month. V-Ray 3.6 for Rhino will follow shortly after.

I hope you're on schedule!
I currently can't render any animation that has some DOF as V-Ray is not aware of Rhino's camera target... a big roadblock for the project I'm working on!
Even if it's not 100% finished, an interim version would be very helpful as a lot of issues we encounter seems to be resolved in your current build.

Thanks

Joining this threat a bit late. Several months ago I had to downgrade to Vray2 for rhino due to formations I was conducting. I thought Vray3 is a rocket and solid for the week of time I've been playing with.

I'm now working at Christian Dior and I've ordered for my machine Vray3 for Rhino, it might be required several more licenses for other Rhino and Cinema4D users upon my recommendation (only).

Dear Co-Bulgarians from Chaosgroup, Vray is one of the very few things I can be proud of from our present !! Please give the Rhino users what we deserve. Keep in mind that among others, those using Rhino are: Zaha Hadid architects, Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel (where I was coaching the interior design team), Interperfums (where I was also giving Vray formation) Philippe Starck, Herzog & Demeuron..
Also Grasshopper for Rhino totally changed the game! Many professionals switch to Rhino just because of the power of Grasshopper.

And just to let you know: +80% (in my professional knowledge) of the luxury industry in Swiss and France are sticked already to KeyShot for Rhino (swiss watches industry nearly 100%). Your concurrence won't wait endless, neither we..

Best Regards

Hi Peter, we're October 25th and V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp does not seems to be out yet...

I'm really looking forward to get back to work on my renders and I'm worried my deadlines will be pushed again.

The V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp update is almost complete. Final polishing has slightly pushed back the release date. Expect announcement soon.
The V-Ray 3.6 for Rhino update is on track to be released approximately a couple of weeks later.

Kind regards,
Peter
