a vray upgrade with rock solid DR.
with distributed lightcache, maps, backburner support, no host-not-found errors, no network directory hassles, no other strange problems.
basically i want DR to work the same way and reliability as backburner rendering.
the lack of reliable/useable DR is the only thing that annoys me with vray, everything else runs rock solid and predictable for me.
there are some features i also miss, like nicer materials, support for more max tools…but that’s all minor things.
vray has been great to me recently, i don’t remember when it crashed the last time, the lightcache is amazing and extremely fast.
all in one, everything works great, except DR which feels like a big hack.
i wouldn’t mind paying for an upgrade.
I agree and .. it’s true when u say that it seems really stable now.
I’m working on a more than 4million polygon exterior scene, with trees , people and tons of Vrayproxies, without visible problems… and with gr8 rendertimes.
Sure with a stable DR (..and.. Distributed GI also) would be really perfect.
I agree the DR is regulary a waste of time because of too many problems (the bigest one is when you forget unchecking DR before launching a classic Net Render).
We have been doing some improvements to DR recently to make it more robust and with support for region/blowup rendering; so hopefully it will be more usable.
