Yep, although you’d probably need some help on this, which you can get if you email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com. I suppose we will be adding it to the help index as well.

i think you need to remove the word “immediate” from the topic since too many people are currently downloading. 
i cant even get the “save as” window to pop up when clicking on a link. its been a couple minutes now since i clicked the link. you might want to put a smoke detector next to your web server machine
uuuuh great!!!
seems like the server’s going to explode at the moment. 
Thanks Vlado, I’ll do that… it will probably have to wait untill RC4 though since the affect shadows in submats is a show-stopping bug for us.
Yep, the builds were already on the site when we discovered this, and we were in a rush to get the max 9 builds out so there wasnt’ time to go back and fix it. I hope that a patch for this will be available very soon.

My god, the server is going to blow up, impossible to download the RC3.
Is there any smoke inside the server’s room ?
Licensening
I have a license server (which has a license for 2 copies of VRay) running on one of our servers. When I install it on there, will it give me a new request code that I need to send in? Since I don’t have the dongle, do I need to copy in that .dll file as well?
You don’t have to re-install the license server. You don’t need to copy any .dll files anywhere. The only thing to remember is to choose the software license type when installing on the workstations.

getting this error after clicking the download link:
Missing installation file. [url="/support/"]Click here to go to the support section[/url]
i’ll try again later…
It sounds familiar, there was the same issue with the previous build, I think? If you are still unable to access it, please email me your user name for the support section and we will sort it out.

yeah, it was the same thing last time, but worked then eventually.
i pm’ed you my login details.
thanks.
It looks like 3dsmax 9 ignores the “Multithreading” option in DR mode and always uses 1 thread on the render slaves. Until we find a way around this, use the “renderers.current.system_numThreads” MaxScript property to force V-Ray to use a given number of threads for rendering.
I’m confused. Put this (renderers.current.system_numThreads) in the Maxscript listener?
Also, where would I specify the number of threads? For instance let’s say I have the following setup:
2 AMD x2 computers - one is the main work computer, the other a slave.
1 AMD single core computer slave
So technically speaking with this example, I have 5 threads altogether working on DR. So how would the above syntax read?
‘renderers.current.system_numThreads’ - where would I specify the ‘5’?
Something like:renderers.current.system_numThreads=2Since each machine would be using at most 2 threads.

For those of us who never received a dongle and were sent a temporary cgauth.dll file, which installation option should we use,
Hardware lock or Software?
Software. You would choose hardware only if you already have a dongle in hand.

Vlado
Since each machine would be using at most 2 threads. In my situation, not every computer is 2 threads. But that shouldn’t be a problem right?
Also, this won’t affect non-x64 machines on the network?
I also have Max 8 files that I want to remain Max 8. Will installing version 9 Vray files conflict with a Max 8 install? Licensing? I have a hardware dongle as well.
I have 8 and 9 installed right now, Vray installs into a different folder for each Max version so in that way they’re independent of each other.
SWEET!!!
so many fixes… good work
my fix for affect shadow bug if somoeone missed it

i’ve noticed that render-elements (i’ve had the problem using z-buffer) ignoring opacity maps.
