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…

So if I want to upgrade a single v2 license to v3 with 11 rendernodes that’s gonna cost me 700 euro. Well, I really can live with that :slight_smile: BUT: If I decide to buy VRay for Sketchup, Modo, Cinema4D, etc, can these rendernodes be used for ALL VRay licenses, or do I need to buy 11 renderno…

The new pricing is a poor decision by Chaos Group. I suspect it will drive many people to using a pirated version of VRay, to the point where they will be making less money from licences than with the current model. I realise you are running a business, but I would highly recommend you think about …

its still super cheap compared to renderman… :d

[image] very frustrating limitations of the Vray Z depth buffer. its still super cheap compared to renderman… :d Hm, I would not even dream to compare V-Ray to rman; they are totally different beasts. Best regards, Vlado

I just have a quick question regarding upgrade pricing … At the moment I’m a freelancer with 1 workstation, and 1 render-node, so the “V-Ray 3.0 for 3ds Max User license + 1 V-Ray Render Node 3.0” for 300 euros would be fine for now, BUT if in the future I buy additional render-nodes, could I upgra…

[image] Do you use back burner? So what?!! I don’t get this comparing lark - yes it is cheaper but still more expensive than I was paying before. I just don’t get why one license has one render node, ok, kill the unlimited if you want, but at least give us 3/5/10 nodes per license *something*. An…

I don’t think its ‘ridiculous’ to be upset about a price increase and having to pay more! If I buy one license I get one render node included for 300 Euros. If I buy one license and want 6 render nodes its 500 Euros… SO I have to pay more now, where as before it was included - I don’t understand …

And of course after that, every new workstation or render server I buy costs me an extra 250 Euros! (or a bit less if I get a bundle but I normally only buy one new machine at a time)
