we proudly announce: (VRAY for CINEMA 4D)

And why the hell should we be ‘humble’? You make it sound like we should be grovelling to Stefan!!! I must say that some of the posts on this thread are pretty stomach churning. So much snivelling and fawning…ugh!

These guys are going to make a pack of money from this plugin and I’m sure deservedly so. But the point is this is beginning to get a bit MW/NL like in the pre-release hype and the delays. And the delays are there! Just look through this thread that as Neil V rightly points
out started well over a year a go!

I’ve just looked at the initial post. In it Stefan says ‘…the development about 2 month ago, there is still some month of work before us, but things are looking good …’

Does that suggest we would be waiting as long as this?

Look at the other posts through the thread too…there’s plenty of suggestions that we are only a short time away.

Now toads, get back to your snivelling and grovelling before the dual great gods of Illab and Tarabella…and pass me the sick bucket!

I agree that this thread is pretty old now and i would have definately thought we would have had Vray by now at the start. But I also think that this project has gone deeper than what the devlopment team had initially intended and hence the longer timescale. I also think that AFAIK this is the first OSX version of Vray ever which sounds like it is the aspect causing most problems and obviously making it for 2 platforms and making it solid must be quite hard - see Final Render 2 for referance! Also taking a look at the problems Cebas has had supporting OSX customers and release dates (is it even on OSX yet?) then i guess Stephan and the team will want to release the 2 platforms at the same time otherwise they will be in for the “here we go again” chant from the OSX contingent! Just my thoughts anyway and I am also lookingforward to the day when I can wave goodbye to AR GI!

I don’t see there is any point in blaming anyone here. Not the godlike developers and not the humble worshippers. What’s the point? What’s the point?? What’s the point??? Will they work any faster or deliver an unfinished product just to satisfy the impatient ones?? I don’t think so.

Geezz, nobody has paid for this like @ MW so there is only a promise that at some point there will be this new tool. Hey, they could even decide not to market this or suddenly raise the price to astronomical heights. It’s all in their hands. Just wait untill you get your food.

and the moral is, never ever ever ever mention any dates and time figures unless you are 100% sure. i am sure it will be out soon, bitchin about it wont make it come faster. maybe they are waiting for sigraph and see what maxon is working on :wink:

#1665

i think it’s time to unsubscribe.
the gods/humble thing is not my style.

#1666

Haven’t those that have already pre-ordered paid for it?

#1667

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 wonder who advised them to pre-order? :wise:

Here in the slow-mo East Afican world, we’ll wait. I have pre-ordered and Max guys here are waiting to see what us C4D guys will do once its out. That’s all the pressure I have.

Now toads, get back to your snivelling and grovelling before the dual great gods of Illab and Tarabella…and pass me the sick bucket!

As for being a toad, Illab and Tarabella, Riiiibbbbittt!:applause:.

#1668

Haven’t those that have already pre-ordered paid for it?

No you just email them and they put you on the list - no money upfront which makes a big difference when comparing it to maxwell.

#1669

I always wondered why people get into such a state about a software, be it the fans or the angries.
Stefan started this thread because he was excited to the fact he instigated the development of a connection asked by the community for a long time, he wanted to share his excitement and get feedback to make it a better tool.
And better it got, because if you remember well, we weren’t supposed to get such a deep integration at first, and no Mac version either.
He was also nice enough to cut the price for those who showed faith in the project (morally), and you still give him grief for this.
There’s a reason why Maxon never announces anything before it’s ready, because people can’t stay reasonnable and don’t have a good grip on what it takes to program something.

Be assured they want it out much more than we do. They invested way more than we did so far, and every delay is hurting them way more than us.
They took the decision to deliver a more polished product, as bug free as possible, and this takes time. So, without going as far as throwing yourselves on the floor kissing the carpet and sacrificing your virgins to the gods, maybe showing a bit more understanding and patience wouldn’t be a bad thing.

No need to be angry, no need to be awed either. This is only a tool after all, and it doesn’t prevent us to exercise our art.

Maybe if we just kept in mind that more delay means more goodies in the end, that would make everybody feel better?
Dunno, but one thing is certain, nobody needs emotional swings in here, let’s just keep this thread informative and as “mood-free” as possible.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi all,

We are working to show the VrayBridge at the ChaosGroup stand at Siggraph.

I’ll tell you all more infos.

thanks for your time
Renato

#1671

I want to know: Will be any Siggraph-podcast about vraybridge’s work?
Sorry, I can’t to attend at “show”.

I am slightly in the same situation as Neil V("…I’m getting it in the neck from my creative director about the release date…")…

Hi All,

i still find that is was very good to make this thread and keep you all updated:
several reasons:

:: quite some would have bought max, just to get vray, i know some in person…
:: you brought many inputs that we almost all did hear and brought into vrayforc4d,
that alone is gold worth…
:: the feedback from here made us going one step further and exand the project to become a fiull integrated vrayversion like it is in max. remember this was not the initial plan. promised was only a basic bridge that could render a exported file in standalone. now you can even use native c4d shaders and all work in c4d itself!
:: we got already worldwide recognition, we have resellers worldwide (without spending any money on advertisment), and we have preorders(we did not take any money yet) from all world europe, usa, japan, australia,…
:: and last not least i think there are many vray enthusiast like myself that just prefere to know what will come instead of quietness. if we would have made it like maxon, we would have no rants here of course, because nobody of you would even know that vray comes to cinema4d. so what you prefer;-)?

then we also dont have any unnormal delays, remember we 2 times expanded functionality enormous. 1 was exporter bridge only, second was integration in interface, third expansion was support for the great c4d shader set. so you get much more for the same money:-)

about siggraph:
Vlado will present vrayforc4d himself in san diego for all who will be there. we provide him with some demo scenes. he is new to c4d but loves vrayforc4d implementation, and well if somebody knows about vray, its him -so a visit to the chaosgroup booth will certainly pay off:-)

i will make some videos showing on our site. they will show you all areas of vrayforc4d like interface, material, settings, physical sun & sky, c4d shader support etc.
so this will be available for all, not only for siggraph visitors.

so i hope you will pass by either in san diego or our website during to see our product.
best regards,
Stefan

amazing news :thumbsup:

#1674

Great news…after some enhancements of bridge we can see it… :slight_smile:
Stefan thanks a’lot! :slight_smile:

#1675

I return to this thread every couple of weeks to see how things are cooking along and if there’s any news about the bridge. I’m one of those that pre-ordered and have been happy to wait for the final release.

Over the last year I’ve seen steady progress and “feature creep” due to user demand, and the high level of quality demanded by the people working on the project. I’m as anxious for this as anyone. I’ve even gotten a copy of Max/Vray so that I can get a leg up on the intricacies ahead of time and bought 2 Quad dual-cores.

Just as always, it’ll be ready when it’s ready. Getting your panties in a bunch over it and making demands won’t make an ounce of difference. You wouldn’t want it before it’s completed anyway, it’d just be even more aggrivating.

Patience my friends, patience… :wink:

#1676

Geez, does this mean I can justify my Renato Shrine I set up when he released Path Deformer and made motion graphics explode for the C4D platform? I don’t even know what he looks like, but I assume it involves a beard, white robes, a heroic steed and some kind of sceptre, because that’s how I saw it in a vision and thus how I made my shrine. (Thank god for those leftover Gandalf figurines, what a coincidence!)

Oops, gotta go! Time to pour some grappa in the little cup to put at the base of the shrine, light the incense and break off some hunks of taleggio and pane.

#1677

LOL!
Thanks Govinda. That big laugh just made my day :slight_smile:

Viva Renato and his like!
After all, those programmers and developers are a special breed of brain.

Well… I think the only way I could get ticked off, is if they have a super-smokin’ deal at SIGGRAPH, and I didn’t find out in time to go. Or… if it doesn’t work with R9.6. Or… my aging machine coughs up its last hairball right after installing VRay.

I just bailed on a thread at another site where people were hissing about software released on time, but crashes to the desktop at odd moments. (This after 2 patches.) Much better to have a rock-solid render engine to go with a rock-solid Cinema. (No… 9.6 does not crash unless I do something spectacularly stupid.)

#1679

All praise to the mighty DEVS!

Thanks again for making Vray4C4D a reality guys! Without your passion and intent…we’d still be pushing and pulling to get things done the way we wanted to with AR or M~R.

Siggraph is right around the corner…so I will sit, and wait.

Don’t let the belly aching get to you guys…we’re all just anxious to get our hands on the elixir you posses.

:slight_smile:

#1680

sweet. so glad i will be in san diego to meet you guys in person!

i am a beta tester, but literllaly have not even had a chance to install the program. how lame is that? its been sitting in my email for a month or 2. good grief. i am ashamed at myself. i guess that makes me at beta-beta tester, or alpha tester?

i will sell my beta program for 1 million dollars. haha. no, but i do need to get it up and running.

keep up the good work!
