Andrew1 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am wondering why isn't there available educational version of vray RT ??? I think its kind of stupid that an addition to vray as RT made with the purpose to learn or preview your scenes qiucker in real time with better results is unavailable for students.... as far as I am concerned RT should be a standard thing in vray but in reality of course it becomes a money grab.... Personally I think this is the coolest thing so far to preview your light behaviour in real time but make it a separate thing is just plain stupid and selfish... anyone ???

Jason Matthews Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I love Vray RT. I too wish there was no additional cost however the amount of research and development that Chaos has put into it and will continue to put into it warrants the price IMO. AutoDesk charges the user for every single release of their softwares. I am just grateful that Chaos does not charge for every release they have. That said, the rumor mill is churning and the GPU/CPU-based VrayRT will be at additional charge. By the way, Lightwave has/had a plugin that allowed the user to do same thing of previewing the rendering before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with Saturn... ChaosGroup havent charged me for an upgrade since.. well, never charged something. I bought the product like 7 years ago, so I had dozens of free upgrades since then.. If you look at Fry render, the RT/GPU version is something separate.. Of course I would like RT and RT/GPU to be in the same package, but they have to run a business.. They do provide the very best support and product in the feild... and their product is cheaper / more polyvalent that other.. ( i'm thinking here hundreds of render nodes for free...) So yes, would be good to have everything in one bundle, but when you compare what you have for every penny invested, Vray is still the wise choice.
