V-Ray for Rhino 3.40.02 is a new Official Update for Rhinoceros!

V-Ray for Rhino 3.40.02 includes upgrades to the license server, user interface, light sources, and many more improvements. Your V-Ray for Rhino experience will be easier and smoother.

This update is free for V-Ray 3.x for Rhino customers.

DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE

Highlights include:

  • License Server updated to version 4.4.
  • Match Viewport mode added to Render Output/Aspect Ratio drop-down menu. This matches the rendered image to the viewport?s aspect ratio.
  • Geometry Type icons added to the Asset Editors Geometry list. The icons identify the geometry type even if a custom name has been used.
  • Light Type icons added to the Asset Editors Light list. These icons identify the light source type, and enable or disable the light.
  • Side-by-side stereo output layout implemented.
  • Directionality parameter added to the Light Rectangle light source. This allows you to narrow the light and focus its direction.
  • Object as Clipper allows you to clip with a custom geometry (nurbs or mesh).

Check the change log after the installation for the full list of new features and bugs fixed.

Nice to see we are getting updates and improvements. I’ve noticed the Rhino UI is now locked when the rendering is running, is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks

Same here …

What it is locked is the three rendering option. The rest of the UI should be free.

Fernando,
While rendering, I can only interact with any open vray windows (Asset editor, frame buffer and progress window) but all access to Rhino UI is locked, similarely to when the batch render option was enabled in v2

We were not able to reproduce the problem on our office machines.

Are you rendering in CUDA mode? If you are - how many GPUs are you using?
Could you please provide some step-by-step description of the problem or alternatively, an illustration?
What are the full version numbers of Rhino and V-Ray for Rhino you are currently using?

Kind regards,
Peter

Peter,
I’m not sure how to determine in what mode I’m rendering. I have only one GPU.
I sent you a PM with a small video showing the problem.

Hello, Juan,
Thank you once again for providing the video demo! A high-priority ticket has been logged.
As for render modes - if you’re not using GPU acceleration then you’re using your CPU for rendering. For more info, please visit Chaos Docs

Kind regards,
Peter
