How can I render to the same V-ray frame buffer?  
When I do a render it always creates a new buffer.

It’s not possible right now, but it might be possible in future versions.

I would definitely count this as a major roadblock to using V-ray for Blender in production … ☹

Yep, that and not having RT feedback has been a significant lack in the workflow.

@ Andrei - Any closer to getting RT hooked up, or is there still an limitation with Blender integration? This to me is the highest priority to enable full use of Vray for Blender. Everything else has been working great and keeps improving, but lack of RT is a major workflow impediment.

Agreed. With RT and a VFB that behaves as per Max and Maya things would be in good shape.
