If you go a little deeper into V-Ray’s setup, 3.0 still simplifies things for you a bit with Basic, Advanced and Expert modes. You can further adjust the quality of the GI, shading and anti-aliasing from within the Quick Settings dialog with simple sliders. If you’re not sure what those mean, or why you would chose one over the other, then these quick settings are definitely for you. The Studio setup, for example, selects for brute force plus light cached GI architectural interior visualization selects for irradiance mapping plus light caching architectural exteriors go for straight brute force. The toolbar’s Quick Setup button provides one-click setup for Architectural exterior and interior scenes, VFX scenes and studio scenes, automatically setting the Global Illumination (GI), Shadow, and Anti-aliasing type and quality. V-Ray’s new tool bar gives you handy access to options, lights, cameras, hair, materials and more. Thankfully, the V-Ray part, at least, has gotten a bit easier to decipher and use.įor starters, there’s a new toolbar that gives you handy access to V-Ray’s options, lights, cameras, hair, materials and more. I admit that I only use 3ds Max periodically and usually find myself more than a little overwhelmed by the interface. So what’s new with this version of V-Ray? First and foremost, there’s a somewhat simplified user interface. I wasn’t using the previous version of V-Ray with Max, so I can’t personally compare its render speed to 3.0’s, but anecdotal reports from forums as well as Chaos Group’s literature, indicate that the new version of V-Ray is significantly faster than its predecessor-by anywhere from 10 to several hundred percent. I tried out the recently released 3ds Max version.
#VRAY 3.0 SOFTWARE#

If it’s a problem only Chaos Group can resolve they will put you in touch with someone who can fix it.įor what it’s worth, it would have been helpful to tell us which OS, and the error messages.An example of V-Ray’s rendering power by Stefano Tsai. If you don’t understand the installation instructions, call the shop for advice and clarification. If it doesn’t work after you correctly followed the installation instructions, take it back to the shop. The bottom line is you bought something from a shop. If you already owned a licence it would have to be upgraded, if not they should have provided you with the correct support to be able to run it. If it isn’t working, you should probably contact your V-Ray reseller in the first instance and advise them of whatever error messages are showing in the Blender console.
#VRAY 3.0 INSTALL#
You need to install the dongle driver, licence server and V-Ray.
#VRAY 3.0 HOW TO#
You would have received instructions on how to install and run the licence server with the dongle drivers and licence server software.
The hardware dongle doesn’t run V-Ray, it runs the licence server. I’ve succeeded to run the server but my dongle is running Vray for 3ds max 1.5… Vray never asked me the licence so I don’t know if the dongle key is used or not… (I got a dongle key but I don’t understand how it’s used)…
#VRAY 3.0 UPGRADE#
Speaking of vray 3.0: Not sure if it was perfectly good timing to buy vray 2.0 just now - with vray standalone 3.0 around the corner you can only hope to fall under some kind of grace period to get a free upgrade when it arrives. But vray/blender 3.0 nightlies are supposed to run with vray 2.0, too, only some vray 3.0 specific functions and nodes will (naturally!) not work. From my understanding they’re working on vray 3.0 integration into vray/blender for quite some time now, that’s why they haven’t released a newer “final” version since 2.69. They will check if you’re a licensed customer and provide you with access to the nightly repository. Drop an email to Chaosgroup’s support team at. Newer versions of vray/blender are afaik available as “nightlies”.
#VRAY 3.0 LICENSE#
Then launch vray/blender: The license server checks the validity of the hardware dongle and will allow vray to run when called from within blender. Make sure the license server is up and running - it will throw an error message if you launch it without the dongle plugged in.
