VRay 5 and Windows 7

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
1

Hi,

I’m planning to upgrade from Next to 5 but I just noticed here
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/…m+Requirements
that Windows 7 it’s not listed anymore as OS requirement so the question is:

is it a serious issue or just a formal one as Windows 7 is officially out of support?

Off topic

I will take this opportunity for a similar question about 3DS Max 2021 (Windows 7 not supported) so…

is anyone running 3DS Max 2021 still on Windows 7? …does’t it work? …any issues?

Thanks in advance

A couple render nodes are still windows 7, and they are working fine. Haven’t tried interactive.

Max 2021.1. Vray5

We removed Windows 7 from the documentation since Microsoft officially dropped its support. V-Ray 5 has the status of unofficial support on the operating system in question, even though it works fine from what I tested, so use it at your own risk.

so called it sounds scary :rage:

Yeah, a bit, however, don’t interpret it as such.
