Jason Matthews Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Make sure you download the Vray version for Viz2008, I think it is Max 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devres Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Is that a yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Saunders Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 And if it is yes, you really suggest to use the VIZ install for MAX? I haven;t done it yet either, just wondering as my discs are in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchrender Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 We just received the update to max 2008 under the subscription, and vray works fine, just had to reinstall it. The subscription is worth the money in my opinion, but now everybody who dose not have it, will be receiving 3ds files....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa2 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I haven't been able to get DR working in max 2008 yet. Some say that the Vray service pack that is expected soon will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devres Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I will install at home tonight and do some testing. We are really looking forward to using it at the studio. Realistically, it wont happen until our render farm software supports everything, which could be awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Saunders Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Any issues? I'm still wondering if I should give my IT guy the go ahead to install Max 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowback Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I am with you all. We recieved our copy of 2008 this week and I don't want the IT to install. Will Vray 1.5 r3 work with 2008? We just bought it this summer for max 9 and I am wondering....now what? Do we have to buy a new release of vray for max 2008. Hope not....boss will freak;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagor Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Am i wrong with thinking that if you once buy vray you can take new version for free? 2 blowback, why you use rc3? RC5 more faster and there are some greate bugfixing and features!!! You can ask vlado (chaosgroup) about it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa2 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I might be wrong, but I don't think RC5 was every released to the public. I have it too, but I had to ask Vlado for it to see if it fixed a problem I was having...it did. Now that 1.5 is out I'm sure they won't be passing RC's out anymore. 1.5 Does work with max 2008, but I haven't been able to get DR working. That's the only thing I've noticed so far. Just use the Vray version for max 9 with it. Upgrading from RC3 to 1.5 is free...and all service packs will be free to. You'll have free upgrades for awhile. Chaos is good about that. Acutally upgrades have been free for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagor Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 you are right about rc5. there are some users who are not legal. also there are v1.5 w@res version in the web, but it `s realy slowly than rc5. as hi is official user he wouldn`t have any trouble with vray 1.5 and service packs ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowback Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks Dagor. I will. This was version We recieved in the summer. I will ask him next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devres Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Update for all WOW, extraordinary is all I can say. Dual 3.8 Xeon 6GB RAM Nvidia FX4500 XP64 SP2 Max 2008 64Bit Vray 1.5.00 SP1 This is the most stable combo I've ever used. I use one of the evermotion interior scenes as my personal machine benchmark. I use the one of the interior of a church with all the chairs. Merged in a Dragon breathing fire animation from the Max tutorials / samples. Added even more dramatic lighting and instanced all the chairs 4 more times. I CANT make it crash... just keeps on chugging. Adaptive Degradation is super sweet. Vray 1.5 SP1 is PERFECT as far as I can tell. We don't use any in house DR, so I can't comment there, but the rest is top notch. THANK YOU VLADO and the rest of the VRAY team!

demo38 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I have a good number of Max files created in Max 9 Exp 1 with vray_adv_15000_max90_x86 that simple won't open; Max just hangs and won't do a thing. Have to force quit out of it. I can merge those files from 9 into 2008, but in doing so, it's breaking the DWG file link that we use to get the model in from FormZ. Accepting the lost link, I retexture the model, save it, then go to open it back up... hangs again. Also noticed that when submitting a network job, 2008 doesn't remember our subnet mask / render server location, just annoying. I'm wishing I had waited at this point and considering jumping back until I see a patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devres Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Form Z huh? Well, we don't use that around here... I've seen good stuff from it, but it seems my architecture guy prefers ADT and then straight into max for texturing. Once again... ZERO problems. We have been running our latest animations of 1,000 Acre 2,000 Lot land development projects FULL of landscaping. Once again, NO problems. Typically, we would never upgrade mid project and thus wouldn't be bringing in projects from 9 to 2008. However, I tested several older projects as old as Max 7 with no problems. Time to evaluate your workflow. The time advantages and stability of 2008 and Vray 1.5 SP1 on a 64bit system are simply unbeatable and that's just all there is to it.
