we proudly announce: (VRAY for CINEMA 4D)

[AdamT]

Will Vray4C4D run on my Windows 3.0 machines?

Just kiddin’.

Snapped this pic of the evil genius himself at Siggraph:

Sadly they were not showing VRay4C4D at their booth.

on last day vlado showed it on laptop:-)
sadly there where some problems on the mainmachine with license file.

cheers

Would you believe I was going to ask if anyone snapped a photo of the man, so I could see the face behind this beautiful software? Adam is a mind-reader.

What was Chaos showing? Just curious because I couldn’t make it. Similarly, I would love to hear anyones opinions on what they saw in general. Did anything blow you away?

[ooo]

Uhh, what? UB, as stated several times, means Universal Binary, as in it contains both an Intel and PPC version; and Apple actually has a great track record of handling new CPU crossovers. It’s not a matter of “now we want backwards compatability,” it’s a matter of saying your product is going to be UB, means that your product is going to run on both Intel and PPC. If that was not going to be the case, they would have said, Mac Intel only. Things that are Intel only don’t use the UB moniker; UB by definition means both cpu types.

Ok Master, I knew someone would bite on this. But what’s the name of Mac software running solely on Intel? I know what UB means and I was talking in general. Like the cry about Adobe to deliver UB. And now we’re past that there is this demand for a PPC-version of Vray wich is totally logical. But sooner or later there will be tools that are Intel-only I think (maybe there are already?).
But it seems there will be delivered a real UB-version so no more crying from anyone!
Thanks all!

Well, if it’s Intel Macs only, there goes my preorder

Not sure when I’ll have the cash to get a new workstation. The cost of updating from R9 to R10 is in addition to the cost of VRay for me, but if I have to add the cost of a new Mac to that as well, then it ain’t going to happen this side of Xmas.

I really, really, really hope that VrayforC4D will be UB…hint hint… pretty, pretty please, nice Messrs. Laub and Tarrabella…

Thank you!

[lllab]

once again nobody says it is intel only at release…
cheers

[vitos]

Well, that’s the really good news, especialy today

[osxman]

Thank you for those words Stefan!
Makes sleeping a bit easier.

Actualy the name Universal Binary is a bit misleading. Technicaly a UB version of an application does not have to contain versions for x86 and PPC. It can contain both or only one of them. If it only contains a PPC version the application will be run on x86 systems using Apples emulation software Rosetta. A x86 only UB can not be run on a PPC mac though.
On an Intel Mac if you have a UB software that contains both you can actualy choose if you want to run the PPC or the x86 version of the software. By default the x86 version will be used.

I’m sorry but where than is the versality of the code ?
Every description of program says PPC, UB or INTEL. That’s simple.
There is no x86 only UB or PPC only UB code as there is no mono-multi something.

[ngrava]

I really think we need to just drop the PPC discussion now. We have heard from Renato, Stefan, Daniele, myself and even Vlado (the creator of Vray himself). All of us have clearly stated that there will be a PPC version. You know that it is just the “current” state, you know that it will be compiled once Vlado has a PPC Mac, you know that the Vray4C4D team is waiting for Vlado and you know that once they get it, it will be included in the release. There is absolutely no reason to think that there will not be a PPC version. Please stop this useless conjecture and talk about something more interesting.

Please don’t take this the wrong way but, this simply has to be the end of that discussion.

cheers!

Me be quiet

I think that Björn is saying that “technically”, as a developer, you can actually compile a UB and have it only contain a single PPC or x86 version as an option. I don’t know what benefit this would have but it is an option. I think That’s why he said it’s misleading.

[NicoAdri]

ngrava…

I thought you said in no uncertain terms to drop that discussion…and then you post more.

make your mind up!

[artzfx]

The VRAYforC4D team have given us:

Sneak Peeks
Information and replies to all questions
Added numerous Feature requests during development
Committed to cover every C4D platform, PPC, Intel/Mac, PC “as stated”
Offered a “FREE” Pre-order for a discount
Integrated VRAY instead of a plugin
Arranged free tutorials, sample scenes, materials/shaders, forum, even a content provider Tools4D

Lets give them a fair go instead of a hammering.

Edit: rant removed.

[vitos]

What is your point exactly ?

[govinda]

I don’t know but you’re going to have to get up real early to bag post #2,000 when the time comes. Ricky here’s camping on this thread for the sheer glory of it. :twisted:

[diegoto]

Lets change the topic a little…

Stefan,

Is Ozone going to be compatible with VrayforC4D?

Thanks,

Diego

Honestly I didn’t hang around the Chaos group booth after I found out I couldn’t see V4D4D. Overall I didn’t see anything mind blowing at the show – just incremental stuff for the most part. There were some very cool things in the emerging technology area – an amazing 3D movie display, a device that would model your hands in real time when you put them in the active area and allow you to interact with scene objects, an incredible “digital paper” display…

But I didn’t do an exhaustive tour of the exhibition, so I might have missed something.
