I’m kind of fed up with Autodesk. Obviously I want to keep using Vray but I’m seriously looking at alternatives to 3ds max for modeling. I noticed that there are Vray versions for Sketchup and Rhino, both programs have good reputation for archviz as it seems. Did anyone made the switch from 3ds m…

Hey all! I’d suggest looking at vray for blender. I’ve been using vray for Sketchup for a few years, but recently been learning Blender and have bought the vray standalone. There is a ton more functionality similar to Max as compared to some serious limitations in Sketchup. If you want to do animati…

We´re also pretty much fed up with direction 3dsmax is going. In my opinion there is only one way to make Autodesk rethink. Cancel your subscriptions. If enough users would do so, there might be a chance. But it´s unlikely to happen. In the long term we´re trying to get away from anything labled…
