Dear V-Ray Users,

V-Ray 1.5 SP3a for 3ds Max 2010 and 3ds Max Design 2010 is now available from the download section on our site:
http://chaosgroup.com/en/2/downloads.html

Thanks to Joe Alter and the 3ds Max developer team at Autodesk, new in V-Ray for 3ds Max 2010 is the ability to render natively the 3ds Max “Hair and Fur” modifier. More information is available in the V-Ray help index:

V-Ray 1.5 SP3a also contains several fixes to the original SP3 release. Builds for 3ds Max 2009 are also available from the download section. Builds for 3ds Max 8, 9 and 2008 will be available at the beginning of next week.

Best regards,
V-Ray team

Does that mean that the vray fur will become redundant now that max hair and fur is supported ? or is it still a lot quicker to render ?

3

I haven’t really done any direct comparisons yet, so I’m not sure which takes less time/RAM.

Best regards,

Hello Guys,

Another one of those features which really shouldn’t belong to a “Service pack”…
Quite some advancement, well done Chaos.

6

what about 2009?

7

in the download section there are all the builds…from 2010 to max8.

As vlado said only max2010 support Hair&Fur modifier.

Great and big thanks to you and your team @ Chaossoftware, Vlado.

Tell me, please, what are the features / bug-fixes / improvements coming along with SP3a compared to SP3 ?

Can’t seem to download for sp3 for 2010, both 32bit and 64bit won’t download any data. Just an empty .exe. Any ideas?

Yep, I noticed this; can’t do much about it myself though - it will have to wait until tomorrow.

12

is there something that changed in max’s code for 2010 for hair that there is only hair support for that version and not earlier ones?

13

There simply isn’t an SDK for the hair for previous versions so there is no access to the hair information.

Best regards,
Vlado

14

oooooo. well that totally sucks

15

any news about max2010 design & hair?

16

Yes, to avoid the crash, you can do the following:

Go to Customize > Custom UI and Defaults Switcher… and select one of the “Max” presets (“MAX.vray”, “Max” etc, not a “Design” one) and restart 3ds Max. Hair&Fur should render fine then.

It looks like one of the options in the defaults preset causes the crash, but we haven’t had time to figure out which one yet.

Best regards,
Vlado

No VRay for Max 2010 in the download section..

From where to d/l VRaySP3 for Max 2010 x64?

You need the V-Ray SP3a version for 3ds Max 2010 - it appears fine when I log in.
