I am a little confused , your home page says a new release, dated the 28th a may, but the download area has a 19 of may download, is it the same, and you didn't get to poat the update officaly or whats the story.
The same appears on the cg architect website, why the late news if this is the case.

I am using a standard cam in max and the ortho does not work in RT.

I ussually use RT to set up a sun study and use the animation script to render out each hour and it batch renders the whole thing for me not now for some reason.



Any reason Why?

rapid response .............

philip,

There is a RT page on spot3d (the documents for vray website) and under "unsupported" it lists ortho views as being unsupported. But, ortho RT is on the list of things to fix.

Hope this helps.

They refer to the same build, yes.

We don't support ortho views in the RT for now; but other than that, I am not sure where is the problem - this works fine for me if I animate the sun using the Daylight system in a simple test. What method are you using?
