Hi
Looks like Maya 2019 just dropped.
I’m hoping you guys have a VRay build ready to go, as we have been stuck on Maya 2018, with VRay 3.6 for what feels like forever. We wanted to make a clean break to 2019 and VRay next, as not to break any legacy projects.
Can you share an ETA yet?
Thanks,
David.
Same question here.
We’re working on it, but we don’t have an ETA on when there will be VRay builds for Maya 2019.
Must say I’m pretty disappointed with the new 2019 release - responsive viewport good but thats about it!
We’ll have 2019 support in the nightlies quite soon. An official release would require some more time to make sure everything is stable.
Yes, was expecting something…new since there was a 6 month delay.
Bug fixes are good though I guess.
Bug fixes are great, but I wish they could do what sideFX and many other companies do and have more readily available nightly releases without having to be a studio of 1000 artists. We should not have to wait till a major release for bug fixes period. Even weekly bug fix releases would be better than what they are doing now.
…and please dont forget to deploy V-ray 3.6.5 or 3.6.6 ( not only Next edition) for Maya 2019. Some studios still need to use 3.6 because of hardware problems (sse 4.2 needed for cpu!).

Got now access to the Next nightlies. Thanks.
Now waiting for Maya2019 version.
Any news here? We are starting the next project on Maya 2019.
Access to Nightlies over the email support? Thanks p.s. Maya2019 is for me a great update! I couldn’t believe my eyes: working on animation scene, that is about playing 14times faster than in maya 2018 and possible scrubbing in realtime, where the old crashed. So this is the most urgent needed vray update for me. It would be stupid to work anymore in maya2018 with animation…
Yes the animation caching is also the reason for us.
We already have internal builds that we want to test some more before giving them out. We’ll be releasing official support for 2019 very soon.
Hi Alex,
I realise it is difficult to pin down release dates when testing is on going, but do you have a ball park estimate? Are we looking days or weeks, maybe?
We just upgraded to V-Ray Next to use with a new project and ideal want to start fresh with Maya 2019.
Thanks,
David.
Maya 2019 is what many of us animators were waiting for. Animation cached frames real time ! Pure gold !
What do we want?
“VRay NEXT for 2019”!
When do we want it?
NOW!!
all together now!!
I mean we can help you guys with testing if you release it 
I would recommend you check our progress report on 2019 support in this thread: Progress report - V-Ray for Maya 2019 - Announcements - Chaos Forum
As a note - we’ve ported 2019 support to the stable builds, so if you have access to those, you can get a build and start testing. Just keep in mind the issues with the sets, as described in the progress report thread, because you’ll run into it and we can’t fix it without help from Autodesk:
“”"
Outliner issue with sets
Summary: Set objects disappear from the outliner.
Description: Creating V-Ray objects of type ‘set’ (like the LightSelect RE, VRayDisplacement, etc) will not show up in the outliner. The same behavior is observed with other ‘set’ objects, including objects created by other plugins and native Maya set objects. Sets can also appear multiple times in the outliner or they can disappear after creating another object. The issue does not affect the scene itself - only the list of objects in the Outliner is affected. Many V-Ray workflows rely heavily on sets and this bug seems to be a significant impediment for users’ workflows.
Workaround: Force-refreshing the outliner can be used as a workaround. For example - applying a filter in the outliner and then removing it.
“”"
Once we’ve solved this (and anything else that’s critical and potentially comes up) we’ll officially release V-Ray for Maya 2019.
