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] Project Geppetto for 3ds Max 2013 but the increase in costs does now put your software into the same bracket as others There is that; it does bring us closer to other solutions (though I could still argue that V-Ray has the best price for the features that it offers; at the same time I…

[image] Speeding up my Vray workflow OSX There is very little. Dr uses your computer as a host, render nodes are off-site, so to speak. 10 DR is 10 network connections - regardless of the number of cores inside. And any licensing/pricing changes for them will be rebus’ issue to deal with. Tha…

[image] Speeding up my Vray workflow OSX Another question, will this have implications when using services like Rebusfarm? I assume it will be more expensive for them so their fees will increase, but not for me actually sending the job, right? We have separate license agreements with renderfar…

[image] Windows 3DsMax 2013 nodes problem Another thing to think about is the way that archvis companies have, in recent years - desperate to get the commission - bid stupidly low fees. This has undermined the industry as a whole and has been discussed regularly in the past. Maybe as software cos…

For those who do not want to fork over large amounts of cash for upgrade to render nodes, should consider annual licensing. It is really really reasonable imo, even for small freelancers. Guys, the problem with previous license scheme was, it would not generate consistent income for the developer (…

[image] Speeding up my Vray workflow OSX If i’m reading this correctly, we can upgrade from 1.5 to 2 for $550 per license now (and get a free upgrade to 3), but if we wait until 3.0 is released, it’s going to cost $980 to upgrade straight to 3? Important correction here : the free upgrade only…

[image] Object ID in the proxy. Important correction here : the free upgrade only concerns users who purchased a new/full commercial license, not those who purchased an upgrade to 2.0 during that period. Oooh. that does change things. ha. We were about to dive right in. Thanks for the clarifi…

Our new licensing policy provides customers of all ranges and sizes the opportunity to pay only for what they need and use. This way the costs are relative to the user’s specific requirements. For artists not requiring additional render nodes, they have they option of purchasing a single license. As…
