Wich nightly works with which VNext nightly?

Phoenix General
1

I am confused (again lol). Which Phoenix nightly can I use with Vnext? With all these Vnext beta (stable, nightly 2 and 3) out I dont know what to use anymore. :smile:

Hey,

Currently you should use the Phoenix builds tagged with vray4 in the name. They will work only with the latest official beta of V-Ray Next, until V-Ray Next is officially out.

Ok, so the download from the website, not the nightlies section, right?

4

Yes, the nightly builds for V-Ray Next are still not compatible with the Phoenix builds.

So, just to clarify, because I donā€™t understand either, sorry. :slight_smile:

Which is the newest combination of Phoenix and Vray nightlies that work? I just downloaded the two newest, and they donā€™t. Should I download an earlier V-ray? Which? Thanks. :slight_smile:

Are you still on beta? Cause next is out and I expect phoenix to work with it just fine. Just waiting for my licences.
how does it look, georgi?

Edit: just for reference the latest phoenix nightly works with the official next beta download, no nightly.

Thanks Manuel, yes Iā€™m still on Beta.

So I have the latest Phoenix Nightly, but where do I find the official beta (not nightly) for V-ray?

Cheers,

Hey guys,

Tomorrowā€™s Phoenix nightlies will be already compatible with the official V-Ray Next.

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks so much. So I download the latest of both nightlies, and all is good?

Yup, indeed. Grab nightly 28282 and it should work okay :slight_smile: Iā€™ll post in the Announcement section soon.

Cheers!

Also if I donā€™t have a next license yet? Thanks :slight_smile:

In this case you must use a nightly before 28282, and it will be compatible with V-Ray Next Beta 3. If you are using an older beta, you can check under the Announcements topic which Phoenix nightly dates correspond to which V-Ray Beta.

Cheers!

Hi Svetling, thanks for your patience. Sorry for being daft, but I have no clue how to translate that into information about what nightlies I should download.

First, I canā€™t find anywhere in the announcements a list of corresponding releases between Vray and Phoenix FD.

Second, what do you mean a ā€œnightly before 28282ā€? All the Phoenix nightlies are called 31-something or 30-something, unless we go back to version 2?

Iā€™m looking for the highest compatible nighlies for Vray and Phoenix FD I can download without a Next licence, because Iā€™m still testing out. All combinations Iā€™ve tried have led to Phoenix DLL load errors.
Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey,

Each nightly on nightlies.chaosgroup.com is in a zip file - check out the number they have - this is the build ID and is the 5-digit number you need to track :wink:

Here is the V-Ray Next compatibility topic as well: Phoenix FD compatibility with V-Ray Next for 3ds Max - Announcements - Chaos Forum.

You can use the build IDs or dates of the posts to determine which build is compatible with what V-Ray build:
- From Dec 16 to Feb 23 - nightlies are compatible with V-Ray Next Beta 1 (on the nightlies site you can see that there arenā€™t any ā€œvray4ā€ builds before that)
- From Feb 24 to Apr 02 - nightlies are compatible with V-Ray Next Beta 2
- From Apr 03 to May 23 - nightlies are compatible with V-Ray Next Beta 3
- From May 24 onward - nightlies are compatible with V-Ray Next Official

Cheers!

Thanks Svetlin, I think Iā€™m up and running now. :slight_smile:
