Vray 2.3 Update

[braddewald]

I see on the chaos group website that there was an update to version 2.3 in May 2012. Does anybody know what new features were added? I'm currently running 2.2 and just want to know what I'm missing out on.

New features:

(*) Support for 3ds Max 2013;

(*) Support for the new shading features of Hair&Fur in 3ds Max 2013;

(*) VRayOrnatrixMod: support for Ornatrix 2.0;

(*) Added a "Matte for reflection/refraction" option to the VRayWrapperMtl material and the V-Ray object settings;

(*) V-Ray RT and V-Ray RT GPU: support for motion blur (transformation and deformation) both in ActiveShade mode and as a production renderer;

(*) V-Ray RT GPU: added a CUDA engine, in addition to OpenCL (64-bit builds only; requires a Fermi or Kepler card and the newest nVidia drivers);

 

there are some fixes if you deal with VrayHDRI maps and/or use RT and hair
