So, Vray was *the* one to go to, the one with great software and great customer support - one of its bonuses (on top of being a superb shader) was it had free render nodes, which was great when I run a small company. I championed Vray from the early days to SO many peopel. Now Chaos Group want our m…

[image] Train Station Animation For those of you who think that the sole reason people chose Vray was quality your wrong, Maxwell can produce images of equal quality but their license policy stinks and so it’s not going anywhere. Vray’s appeal was speed, quality, support and unlimited render nod…

[image] Nightly confusion I think the best answer was given by Vlado, last week : I would agree that Chaos Group needs to adjust its pricing as market/internal conditions change (I fully support this). However, I take issue with the way they implemented it. Because this is a paradigm shift i…

No they didnt. They’re not forcing you to upgrade. You’ve been using vray for a while, and it was cheaper - now the new version is slightly more expensive. There’s no middle finger, they’re simply moving somewhere else and asking if you’d like to join them.

Of course they’re not forcing me to upgrade. However, when I decided to purchase, it was with a longer term strategy in mind. For all of the software I purchase (Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush, VRay, etc.), I expect to upgrade to keep up with technological changes. I do not think I am alone in this. I do…

I think the way the new licensing/ upgrade options have been presented may be causing some confusion? I think the easiest way to explain it is we’re offering 3 choices for upgrades: There are bundles that include 1, 6, and 11 render nodes, depending on the customer’s needs. We’ve also created a …

There will officially be a “make this render look awesome!” button! I’m already saving up for Vray 4.0 as we speak. :sunglasses: :slight_smile: :wink:

I actually wish there was just one slider - quality 0-1, where 1 is superior render quality at best possible speed :smile:

No doubt we’ll still have people starting threads asking what position the slider should be in. Better make it a checkbox, too many options otherwise.

I still feel that is too complicated. Literally, just push the button and that’s all there is. :stuck_out_tongue:
