Chaos Group announces V-Ray 1.5 RC2 for immediate download

1.5 RC2 for MAX80 is available right now for download for the registered users in the support section of our website. This build will work fine on max70 as well as max60. We will have separate installations for those prepared in a couple of days.

We are planning to have the dongles available for the final release of V-Ray 1.5. We will do our best to provide as many dongles as we can prior to that, but as we have to process thousands of requests - it may take us a while to have them shipped.

For detailed information on the new features please read the readme file that comes along with the build or go to this page:

As usual - any questions, problems or comments send to vray@chaosgroup.com or post them here.

Awesome!

You guys rock :slight_smile:

whoo hoo you da man. now all i need is for my student to stop enjoying himself in the states and come back here with my dongle hehe

well it says:

Missing installation file. Click here to go to the support section

You can try again in a while. If it still doesn’t work, can you send me an email or a private message with your login details so that we can check it out. I can download it just fine, but one never knows…

Best regards,

Yep, that would be the same as the 3dsmax 5 version and it is coming soon.

downloaded and dongleless in texas…:frowning:

hehe

OK it worked now.
the big question now is:
should i install it without having a dongle? is there a grace period?

Cool,
You should see the smile on my face
:lol:

In any other context this could be obscene! :shock:

lol…just a quick question…do we have any chances on linux drivers for the wibu keys ? they seem to support linux basically, but i assume we need some additional vray lic stuff ? just wondering as then could attach it to a nix box wich usually happens to run more stable and have a better uptime :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah i second that, too… linux for the wibukey stuff!

there are some linux drivers posted on the wibu site - www.wibu.com

Not yet, unfortunately. We’ll be working on setting up the online authorization thingy next.

Best regards,

Having just the *nix drivers wouldnt work, you will need the vrlservice app to run in *nix environment too. We will try and get one ready for the finals. However, the win platform for obvious reasons is the top priority.

Why the download if it can’t be used?

Many people got their dongles at Siggraph and they can use it. This number will increase obviously, as more people get the dongles.

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi Vlado,
Does no means to work without dongle?

I meant that this build requires a dongle to run. If you don’t have a dongle, there is not much point in downloading and installing it yet. With that said, we are trying to get the dongles to everyone as soon as we can.

Best regards,
Vlado
