turn into months…
Sorry Stefan but I’m sure that you said it would be a matter of weeks away and that was now months ago…
And the lack of Beta renders from MAC is a bit worrying.
Any chance of a proper update as to where we are?
Thanks
Adri
we proudly announce: (VRAY for CINEMA 4D)

as i tend to get “nailed down here” i wont say any dates, sorry.
also all i say here are estimates, no promises.
you can believe me that we want to release as soon as it is possible. but we wont sacrify quality just to release early. all work is at the moment to finish the osx version. it is very important for us as i said often.
as said i will post here 2 weeks before release.
cheers

Heh… but if you fix everything now, there will not be a beta any more, it will be a production release 
Let the people enjoy it as it is now. You wil polish it for the final release anyway.
Cheers.

I read back some time ago that the vray proxy would probably not be available inthe first release. Is this still the case, and how soon do you think that would be updated and released? I do architectural visualization and this would be the dawning of a new era for me and my firm. We use Cinema for some stills but have been forced to use Max (w/vray) for all of our animations. The vray proxy system is huge. We can cut down our huge poly counts from trees, landscape and entorage elements to minute levels with the proxy. We just completed an animation that had 6-8 million poly’s just in tree’s. We got our individual frames rendertime down t0 7-8 minutes each. I would love to just go to cinema as our full pipeline as most of our modeling is done in it anyway. It’s exciting news. I just can’t wait for it to be available. I’ve posted a thumbnail of one of our screenshots.

yes vray proxy would be amazing. i have scenes done in vray that also will not render without using proxy.

hi all,
we are fixing things and we just added great animation support - with the new irradiance system that isnt available yet in vraymax rc3 (at least not in public versions).
vray is also very memory friendly already. so animations are very nice:-)
for proxy we want to make it good and we add it in and update or patch, as some other features that didnt make it in v1.0. version 1.0 is already a full render and animation system for c4d done in record time with the great help of vlado.
proxy is a very cool feature indeed for rendering a high number of identical objects like trees, cars, people, million of thepots etc;-) we add it in 1.1.
and 1.1 and 1.2 is scheduled this year too, not too far away, probably just 2-3 month after 1.0.
so while you can get into vray and learn to integrate it into your work pipelines, we work and add those extra features to expand the vrayforc4d feature set:-)
for now we look to bring out 1.0 for you as soon as possible.
cheers

hmm, well having versions higher than rc3 is defintly not “official”, if you didint get them from vlado personal, please do not post such things here.

Will all those that preordered get an email alert telling it us when this thing is finally released? I’m getting a bit tired following this over-long thread in the vain hope that we will get a definitive release date.

Please check out this website and buy a plugin from Renato, one of the fabulous developers of this plugin.

PS:I highly recommend the MeshDeformer plugin. However… I got them all. And they are great helpers in all sorts of situations.

“Let’s help Renato through the drought before the VRay rain!”
At this point I’d consider a Vray-Rain Dance!

There was some speculation quite a while ago that it would be with us for Siggraph…must have been wishful thinking…
sigh…pass me the modo…

I think I’d consider sacrificing my only child if it helped get my hands on this thing! ;o)

I don’t agree with such extreme measures, but if you’re certain this is a necessary evil at least spare the child and ‘do the wife’

I think, we need to stand under cold shower/clear our minds before presentation of c4d’s miracle - VRAYBRIDGE :)))
----I don’t want that vr4c4d will be eternal myth 
Where is animation in vraybridge???

To be honest there is too much being written about the plugin’s “release date”.
These people are working very hard, much harder than you are aware working out bugs and getting functionality into the plug-in.
I would be very pleased that you have been blessed to have such a great team of very capable and talented plugin writers which if you do not know by now are few, far, and inbetween.
Patience is not only a virtue but a good measure of respect and humbleness.

I absolutely agree Continuumx but I think some of the posts here (mine included) merely show our immediate desire to work with such a great tool. For me, this is the best news for C4D since I started using it way back at v6. I have the utmost faith in the developers to provide just what we and they want.
However, I also think it was unwise on the developer’s part to have started this thread over a year ago now. So it’s no wonder people are constantly asking the question of when it will be released. The company I work for has pre-orderded VRay and I’m getting it in the neck from my creative director about the release date. As if it’s my fault!?
I think it’s only natural that some people are showing impatience. I feel as if it’s still some way off because if it was imminent then the pre-order scheme would have been cancelled by now. I’m just waiting for that email telling me it’s ready.
