I wonder about the Environment Variable we created for rendering with the old DMC Sampler of Vray 1.5 to be able to get noise-free and RAM-free renders. Should we still keep that or is the DMC Sampler in the update working fine? ---

Please see my reply in the other thread. V-Ray 2.20 produced the same noise levels as V-Ray 1.5 SP6 in all of the tests that I did. However it may still be useful to do a few tests of your own.

Oh well. If anybody got any clue as to how to apply the new hair shader to a standard Max Hair and Fur modifier, it would be very welcome. ---

@BBB3: Yes, a tip how it works with standart hair & fur would be great. @ chaos group: i’ve not much posts but i’m with you a long time. You guys doing a great job but i cannot understand why you don’t make any manual of your product or your nice upgrades. For 2.0 it was just a modification from the (i don’t know) 5 years old 1.5 version. I know there are a lot of tutorials but a documentation where all the parameters are explained is much better. ---

The V-Ray help index lists all parameters of all plugins with an explanation for each of them, which is precisely what you said you need. Best regards, Vlado ---

Yes, you describe the settings - but not how to use them - example the Lens\_Effects in 2.0. I was very happy when i saw the lens effect (because i`m not a friend of post processing) but it is to sensible to use- more examples would help a lot. In the new 2.2 help index - the describtion of the VrayHairMtl is very good - a lot of examples and tests - but not how to use with Hair & Fur (I think most of us work with hair and fur or vrayfur). But - don`t care - I´m very happy with vray and its support (you won`t get any reply from anyone at saturday evening :-)) Have a nice weekend. ---

Well, that was probably a mistake on my part because I thought this would be obivous.

For some reason SolidRocks doesn’t work with this release. I know that’s probably not _your_ problem, but I figured I should mention it here, since Jerome hasn’t responded to the cries for help on his forum. ---

The interface comes up, but the initialization window doesn’t go away, and it doesn’t change the render settings. ---

Great update. What exactly does the “VFB: added ICC color correction to the V-Ray VFB” option do though? Loading different ICC profiles doesn’t seem to do anything - I’ve tried checking all of the “Use…” options in the vfb as well. Tried rerendering too after setting the profile. ---
