I'll buy VRay RT as soon as..

[duke2]

What's holding back those who haven't got VRayRT? For me, it's full support of the colorcorrect map. I can live with the other limitations but i use CC map almost everywhere so VRay RT as it currently stands is no help at all except maybe positioning lights.

Speed. Still a bit slow for us.

The cuda release will be quite good though.

Extended support for the ColorCorrect texture is already added to the next update.

Oh my - the introductory pricing still on?

More to the point, when will this next version be out? This month? By the end of the year?

Sweet. Time to start going around the office and installing the VRayRTSpawner service on unsuspecting CAD-Monkey systems; nothing like giving the IT department some job security.

Haven't heard any other announcements, but I received an email today from Trinity 3d stating that:

Don't forget:

VRay RT Only $299 Until August 31, 2009!
Price then increases to $599
(European Countries please add $55)

"The cuda release"

What's that?

Speed. Still a bit slow for us.

The cuda release will be quite good though.

You could use V-Ray RT in DR with more than one machine, so you could speed up things as much as you need. We will accelerate RT more for next release, so you could expect more speed and features from it.

"The cuda release"

What's that?

CUDA is a language of nVidia for programming GPUs. We are working on a RT version that will render much faster using both CPU and GPU.
There was a presentation about RT on CUDA at Siggraph this year.

yep we allready got 2 rt's.. my colleague here is using it and hes never used vray before and hes able to learn billion times faster how it works..thats brilliant if u r new with this renderer

Thing is it'd be at it's most useful while we're constantly rendering, when we wouldnt be able to do that - DR is a nice option, but it's not really viable for the whole office.
Will be keeping an eye on it though, it's very good, just doesnt fit our current setup.

This is going to be insane in a couple of years with the cuda release out and another gen of processers in

[stilgarna]

We already got 5 RT licenses...

It's a great tool !

Thanks to chaos group... Hope to see an update quickly !!!

Best regards...

What's holding back those who haven't got VRayRT?

Really keen on getting SSS2 support - we're looking at it for part of our lighting pipeline on a character feature, and will have to look at a separate pass for lighting with RT, with a similar SSS2 setup that switches over for final renders...

cheers
