Hi, here I am again, with another problem in which i can use assisting. I'm trying to figure out wether the new MR from 2008 is better then the VRay 1.5 Adv. I was using on 3DSM 9. Nowi can't get my VRay installed on the 3DSM 2008. Forums say u can install the Max 9 VRay on the 2008 version. And it fails, i've added a screenshot this time to show what's failing.
When Vray installation asks for the root folder and plug in folder of 3DSM 2008, i'm inserting the following paths: ROOT FOLDER: C: Program Files Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 PLUG IN FOLDER: C: Program Files Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 plugins and the installation folder for the 'Chaos Group' is already added by default by the installation so i'm not touching that one. He can't seem to create the Chaos Group folder I'm using a Vista 32bit system. PS: 3 screenshots added in a zip file. Well, maybe if they sold the software directly, but it is distributed by local vendors. Chaos group is only a couple people. Very true, but you still need access to Chaos servers to download the latest builds and SP's. This is how it works with our license??
So you installed Vray 1.5 for Max 9 64-bit on top of Max 2008 64-bit and it worked? Are you authorizing via a license server or on individual machines? Sorry, ours is 32 bit. But yep worked with no 'apparent' problems. Yes, you can login and download. But I guess they don't have forum behind that. As it is now, anyone can create a profile and read the forum, but need permission to ask or answer questions.
It used to be all open, until a bunch of warez kids started getting obnoxious and they had to create permissions-only editing. Maybe if they had set it up that way from the beginning it could work that way. I don't know the limitations of the phpBB stuff. Didn't you just give a presentation at 3dsLondon? I gave the LWF presentation.

I don't know the limitations of the phpBB stuff. Ahhhh, don't know why but for some reason I had it in my head that the login also enabled forum priveliges? Didn't you just give a presentation at 3dsLondon? I gave the LWF presentation.
We did indeed. And a fine time we had.:-) Regards Bri.
I'm using VRay Adv. 1.5 as you can see on the screenshots i posted When i type the 3DSM 2008 root folders, when installing afterwards, he cannot create the Chaos Group Installation folder (as also shown on the screenshots in the first post in this topic) is it possible that VRay 1.5 final DOES work, and VRay 1.5 Adv.
As for the login info, i'd have to contact my friend for that since it's his VRay renderer. I'm more like using this one in order to see wether it's better or not then the new Mental Ray, in order to buy it or not for myself regards. Hehe i've already chekced out the Free tutorial for the materials with the 'phenomenon' packages I'm a 2nd grade architectural student, those who are in my year don't really bother using computer rendering, although we have classes teaching just that. I believe this Computer rendering is the future for architects, not saying it's the replacement tool for a pencil and a piece of paper, but in the end process, computer is what it's all about. I'm going to advice the site to my college teacher in order to get those tutorials for his classes. Most students don't understand these theoretical lessons, by the time they get home 90% of whats taught slipped their mind. I'll see what I can do, and mayby.
Just mayby.;) regards. The thing is. I'm not installing over an older version. I bought a new computer, installed vista 32bit, installed drivers etc. Aomei rusifikator. Installed 3DSM 2008 and then VRay where VRay will install the plugins into 3DSM 2008 (I know he does this cause when I start 3DSM 2008 he says he can't find certain dlu's and such in the plugin folder in which the name of the dlu begins with VRay.) However he won't install the Chaos Group folder which contain vital installation files in order for VRay to work. Now what DOES work is installing 3DSM 9, then VRay and THEN installing 3DSM 2008, in which he will automatically incorporate the VRay render machine, as well as the other plug ins such as grass-o-matic, ivy-generator, etc.
