nirsul Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i know a little but am not permitted to say. i will this...regardless of how much you like the new mental ray features that come out with 2009, if you are currently using vray i wouldnt recommend switching over anytime soon. santa has moved his workshop to bulgaria. Not to mention the support for Arch&Design shaders ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacelord Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Not to mention the support for Arch&Design shaders ! Yes this is one feature that might help convert me to VRAY. I'm kind feed up having to wait for 3dsmax to release a new version so I can play with new Mental Ray features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirsul Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I converted to Vray last June and am very happy with this move. BTW - the other MR shaders are not supported - ProMaterials do not work. Also - MR memory management sucks. It crashes too many times too be usefull with big models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacelord Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Nir, I really don't use promaterials so that doesn't bother me. I found MR memory management has been pretty good on a 64bit system and 8gig of Ram I think I will wait an see what the pricing is going to be on Vray's progressive renderer and if they will do any bundling/package prices for both. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAcky Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Here's to hoping current licensee's get a nice discount on the prog renderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirsul Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Spacelord I am using 64 bit systems , although only using 4 gigs of RAM on each. Nir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Here's to hoping current licensee's get a nice discount on the prog renderer Yeah I dont know. Not saying I need to spend money but I bought Vray in '02 or '03. They haven't charged me a cent in at least 6 years! And the improvements I have gotten are huge! The rendering engine I have now is so much greater than what I paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAcky Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 That is a very good point. I only bought about a year ago but the value for money is still second to none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landrvr1 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) I've not read too much on the next full release. Been too busy I guess. The only thing I care about is this: Will it result in faster rendertimes? If I take a scene created in SP3, dump it into next full release, will it render faster? At this point in my workflow/development/career/skillset/blah blah blah, I'm not looking for more cool features. I'm racing against the clock. Constantly. Every minute of every hour of every day of every month. Racing against impossible deadlines. Some cool new flowing water feature or glow function or magic jumping beans or whatever doesn't mean squat. Awesome for those people out there who seem to have ENDLESS amounts of time and seemingly no deadlines, but I'm done with getting jazzed up about 'features'. I want bloody speed. lol, sorry folks. It's been a seriously tough past few weeks and I'm fried. ps. I'm a huge VRay/Chaos fan. This little rant isn't directed at those folks, or the fact that they have excellent customer service. This is just me blowing off steam and wishing for double the rendertimes. We've had amazing advances in processor speed. Wish that the render engine speeds moved at the same pace, lol.

LuckyST Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I want it to be more friendly with max video post, and a better grass/fur engine. Max has that instant hair engine and vray should have one as well. (and not the polly hair, but that "fake" one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
