does latest vray for blender 7.10.01 work on the newly released BLENDER 5.0?

V-Ray V-Ray for Blender General

Does anyone know if latest vray for blender 7.10.01 work on the newly released BLENDER 5.0? Or do we need an update from Chaos ? Thanks

Tuning in for same information. Looking to work with the new colour management, lighting and physical camera upgrades.

I tested it, and unfortunately no, the plugin doesn’t activate in Blender (apparently a DLL issue). I think we’ll have to wait for a new version of V-Ray for Blender 5.0.

Hi all,

Support for Blender 5.0 will be included in the next release. However, I’m not able to share an exact timeframe.

It’s a great day today, Christmas came early :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks for the V-Ray update for Blender 5. Everything works perfectly. :o

I really like you added the distribuited rendering.
Switching at work is more near thanks this.
Still on 3dsmax but this is a nice step towards the switch.

Not for me it doesn’t. Very unstable. Vray Frame buffer window closes on any little amend e.g. rotate an HDRI Dome light, window closes. It also doesn’t seem to be updating when changes are made to the scene, lights switched on/off etc.

I have reverted back to the previous Blender 4.5 version.

I just want to add it has now screwed the 7.1 version. Files that rendered fine are no longer rendering in 4.5. Frame Buffer crashes with internal errors and will not render a camera view.

Hi rpg2015,

Sorry, you’re hitting this. I’m not able to reproduce that here. On my side, the V-Ray Frame Buffer stays open and updates normally when I tweak things like rotating an HDRI Dome light, switching lights on/off, or making other scene edits. So it sounds like something specific in your setup or in that project is triggering the crash.

Could you please help us take a closer look? The best way is to submit a support ticket and:

  1. If possible, send the project so we can try to reproduce it.
  2. Share the console log from the moment it fails​
  3. Share whether you are using V-Ray or V-Ray GPU
  4. GPU Driver version

Hello rpg2015,

I’m sorry to hear that the new version isn’t working properly for you, but unfortunately, that can happen, for various reasons.

I’ve done some initial, fairly basic testing myself, and I haven’t gone into too much detail, but overall, it seems to be working quite well. Maybe one day it will crash, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

The best thing to do for now is to follow **zhanet’**s suggestion above. Support will undoubtedly be able to help you with your issue.

Thank you for responding,

I was wondering where the console log was. You are not referring to blender’s console log?

I’m just prepping some stuff now. I will need to install the latest Vray again.

The not rendering camera issue seems to be limited to shading view — instead of rendering the main 3D camera view in VFB it is rendering the bottom left orthographic view. See attached. Maybe a silly mistake on my part, I don’t know.

I will submit a ticket along with the requested info.

Hi @abecrow ,

Thanks for your response, and I am glad it’s working for you.

I had a frustrating time of it yesterday, there were caustics involved in the scene, so I don’t know if that has any bearing. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Cheers
