Tadzio. Nie wiem czy wiesz ale jed już wersja 1.5.00.00. Następca rc5.

W każdym razie dzięki za featury.

tadzio · 14 Sierpień 2007

Lisie wiem.To znaczy o nastepcy rc5 nie slyszalem.

Ale wrzucam to co znalazlem.

RC4 i RC5.

pozdrawiam.

Yaro16 · 15 Sierpień 2007

zobaczymy czy będą sie tak wysypywać jak rc3 :)

mirach · 15 Sierpień 2007

Mi się tam rc3 chyba nigdy nie sypnoł, pomijając przeladowanie sceny i braki ramu :)

Tadzio: zrób tą liste bardziej user freindly, zamiast takiej tony ficzersów wpisz że rc4 jest fajniejszy od rc3 a rc5 fajniejszy od rc4 - wszyscy bedą zadowoleni ;)

tadzio · 15 Sierpień 2007

Mirach- dokladnie:) he he he....

Poza tym RC5 podobno faktycznie i odczuwalnie jest szybszy niz RC3 [ (*) Increased rendering speed for some types of scenes; ]

Zreszta wszystko wyjdzie w praniu.

pozdr

hcpiter · 15 Sierpień 2007

No RC5 bardzo dobry bardzo, nie wysypuje sie i szybciej dziala

Najnowszy Vray 1.5 Final dziala tylko na dongle keyu podobnie jak fryrender :p(takie male info)

JunioR · 15 Sierpień 2007

no z tym kluczem to troszke przypal ;]

arch515 · 17 Sierpień 2007

hcpiter · 17 Sierpień 2007

rc5 nie wyjdzie to juz historia :)

wyszedl 1.5Final :)

JunioR · 17 Sierpień 2007

po co RC5 jak jest juz finalna wersja 1.5 ?

rc3,4,5 jak wiadomo byly wersjami beta czy cos takiego, z tego co sie orientuje te wersje dostaja ludzie ktorzy kupili wczesniej vraya, to takie Up`y za free.

(*) If "Check for missing files" option is checked, DR will now fail on the render slaves if some maps cannot be found, instead or rendering wrong buckets;

=== Geometry

(*) New default "Auto" mode for the "Default geometry" parameter automatically detects heavy meshes and instances and renders them as dynamic geometry to save RAM;

(*) The ply2vrmesh converter now supports .obj files and has some .obj-specific options;

=== Others

(*) VRayDisplacementMod now supports high-dynamic range textures for displacement in "2d landscape" mode;

(*) V-Ray will now force multithreading when 3dsmax is in slave mode, regardless of the 3dsmax multithreading option;

(*) The default value for the number of light cache passes is now 8;

(*) The parameters of the renderer have been split into several tabs in the Render Scene dialog for 3ds Max 9 and later;

Known issues:

(*) When rendering a 3dsmax Raytrace material applied on VRayProxy objects, V-Ray will crash; removing the Raytrace material prevents the crash;

(*) Instancing a group inside a ParticleFlow system may cause a crash, if the original group is rendered as well; hiding the instanced group prevents the crash;
