V-Ray for Katana questions?

Hi,

I am posting here as I don’t see a dedicated forum maybe due to its non-existence or me not having the right to browse it. Please move/delete to where the admin see fit.

With Katana being released on Windows and accessible for users running Windows, I am wondering:

1) if one needs a V-Ray for Katana license to render with.

2) is there a demo version of V-Ray for Katana? What’s the demo limitations?

3) is there a sub-forum for V-Ray for Katana? What’s the criteria to be able to view it?

4) pricing for V-Ray for Katana?

Thanks,
Jason

Same - I’d be very interested in getting vray into a clarisse + katana / prman house I was in, I reckon it’d out perform both.

Legacy pipeline stuff and prman has more control, might be a better renderer. The nasty thing is the cost of prman and katana licenses though.

Yep - I don’t really like the look of it and said studio has a lot of pretty experienced people with Prman, despite it also having a lot of issues. I’d see vray as being able to combine the roles that both play as a renderer. Clarisse does some very smart things in terms of selections and scene assembly and I’d say it’s a bit friendlier to start off with, if a bit frustrating to try and chase where data and connections are linking to. Katana seems like a good idea too, perhaps a bit expensive for the mass market? It definitely solved the issue of large scenes for some companies and softwares but a lot of things have caught up in the interim!
