I’m not sure if this is a Phoenix question or a Vray 6 question, but I have a basic fire sim that renders fine in Max 2022 and Vray 5, but does not render in Max 2023 and Vray 6. I re-simulated the fire, but that did not have any effect. The sim does display in the viewport. I also created a blank scene and used a fire preset on a sphere, which also did not render. I do get a little orange glow from the fire though, just no flames.
Oops, maybe I jumped the gun on Phoenix and Vray 6 since I Phoenix 5 for Vray 5 installed.
Hey
Yes, you will need a V-Ray 6 compatible build for Phoenix. Here is how to get one - How to get Nightly Builds - Phoenix :: General - Chaos Forum
Official builds with V-Ray 6 support are coming soon.
Cheers!
In that case it is safe to assume that phoenix 4 will work with vray 6. If not it is a bit bizarre that phoenix 4 has been ditch and phoenix 5 is not yet official support. I am also curious what vray 6 support in phoenix 5 that is so unique. Thank you in advance for reply.
Ummm, please refer to this thread, I am not sure how to explain it in more detail: https://forums.chaos.com/forum/v-ray-6-for-3ds-max-beta/v-ray-6-for-3ds-max-beta-general/1150121-will-vray-6-work-with-phoenix-4-0?p=1150609#post1150609
Hi Svetlin, thank you for your reply. I remember our conversation, just thought that something has changed in that regards since there is no official support for vray 6…
We were waiting for another team. Today is the day we waited for.
The nightlies in Phoenix are as official as it gets though. I have pushed for a long time for them to be public so everyone can get all new features and all fixes right away.
