Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:07: Hey guys, we have recieved many questions before the webinar and now I am
going to answer them in the chat

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:07: Optimization for product design and new improvements in GPU rendering?
We have added some new features which are going to give you more flexibility in
rendering product design. You also can check our YouTube channel for some demo v
ideos and tutorials.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:08: when the phoenix fd will be available for maya.
Very soon we are in the final phase of testing the builds.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:09: How to sharp render in 3ds max ?
If you don t want to do that in photoshop you could test different image filters i
n V-Ray and see which ones will work for you and also if needed to lower down th
e radius.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:12: when your going to conduct vray 3.5 beta seminar on maya
We are in the last developing and testing phase. We plan to release very soon. I
n the following month or two.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:12: Minimum hardware requirement for v-ray 3.5? Thx
It always will depend on your scene. But basically if you can fun the host appli
cation V-Ray will render it.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:16: Are there any improvements in Aerial perspective ? is it still affecting
all the channels?
You can compose it correctly using the V-Ray Atmosphere RE
When is the release?
It was already released last week ;)
How will V-Ray beat all other unbiased GPU renders like Fstorm?
V-Ray GPU has many advantages. One of the biggest ones is our unique set of feat
ures - both in terms of shading and in terms of exclusive raytracing one (like c
lipper, triplanar, etc), Stochastic BRDFs, GGX, etc. And of course - we have the
GPU designed unbiased algorithm for lighting, named "adaptive lights", that pro
vides unprecedented speed. We have also dedicated support team, which will help
you in a day or two always when you have some issue. V-Ray is also a industry st
andard and production proven tool.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:18: What is correct to clamp sRGB button on frame buffer or turn it off when
i'm rendering, all compositing i'll make in AE.
You don t need to clamp anything. Use the standard settings and you can compose yo
ur image

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:18: Any Change V-ray could go GPU for the main renderer?
I don't know what is going to happen in the future, but for now we are developin
g both CPU and GPU.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:19: what type of gpu graphic card recommended by chaos group?
We are giving you the software solution. It is up to you and your needs in what
GPU you are going to invest your money.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:19: How to best way of animation in V-ray..???
LC/BF or BF/BF

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:19: Does the new glossy fresnel should always be on.
With the glossy Fresnel, it will be more accurate. It will give you more realist
ic results. But for artistic purposes you can turn it off.
Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):
10:20: Possibility of combining CPU with GPU of rendering in RT Advanced (not RT
)
Yes, this is possible, but this is not the optimized way to render.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:20: Are we going to see a rendering method that can be limited by passes, for
example set every frame rendering till 50 pass or so ?
For the V-Ray RT you can. By using progressive the best will be to control the r
endering quality using the noise threshold for the whole sequence.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:24: what do you think about non-commercial full-feature use of your software?
We have education licenses for that. You should just be a student.
What sort of computer will be used in our webinar for the demonstration of Vray
3.5?
i7 6800; GTX 770 primary, K40 for rendering; 32 GB RAM
How to setup the denoiser pass to be saved with the max's batch render???
Same method

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:26: What are some graphics cards that you would recommend for high end animat
ion?
I cannot tell you which graphic card will fit your needs. We give toy the softwa
re and you need to find the best hardware for you. But if I have to say somethin
g - choose between high-end gaming cards or the professional GPUs.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:26: Vray will support Intel Xeon Phi 200 in the future?
We already support it.
How do i keep all the small details visible when using the sss shader?
Try adding it in to a Bump material at the end and see if this works for you
Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):
10:28: Can you guys also let me to join chaos group like will u provide me busin
ess or job in this group i would love to be with you.
Send us your CV ;)
Are VR scans going to be supported with GPU? What's the road map for GPU feature
support?
Yes, this is on our to do list. Unfortunately, I cannot tell when we will be rea
dy with it.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:29: How to use the resumeable rendering properly/optimally for animation.
Same method
With the rise of USB-C with external GPU setups. Will we see any changes for dis
tributed rendering using these GPUs?
If the OC can see it, it should work just fine. For DR if you have many GPUs in
the render nodes the network could became a bottleneck at some point. But we can
control how much the network to be loaded trough the ray per pixel and the bun
dle size. For more info you can check our documentation website - docs.chaosgrou
p.com

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:29: when will the full release come out?
It is out now ;)
If you guys improved IPR renderer
Yes, we did. (If you have tested the beta before) You should test it out.
how to create a leaf with alpha and a little thickness for edge of that leaf! or
how to use vray normal map for thickness leaf
Use custom paint normal or bump map for objects which are not close to the camer
a. If the object is close to the camera better use a displacement.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:31: plse avoid too many time for hdri.rendering.also need an insstant envior
ment pannel for diff mood creations like lumion
You can override the GI, Reflections and Refractions in the Env. render settings
and use not the dome light but the sun system for direct lighting for faster re
sults
Do you expect the 24gb gpu memory barrier to be broken anytime soon?
Yes.
Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):
10:31: Any plans to Strenghten Vray RT in terms of matching the output in the RT
and Production mode without having to change setup?
Try the new V-Ray IPR. I think this is what you want ;)
Vray GPU will faster than Octane?
Better try it for yourself. We find that the V-Ray GPU is great and we pretty co
nfident it is the fastest render engine for most of the use cases.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:32: Is there any feature or render element in Vray 3.5 like LightMix in Coron
a renderer ?
We have the V-Ray Light Select render element.
Interested in the future of GPU Rendering in VRay in general. In what way will V
Ray differenciate from competitors like Redshift
We don't try to differentiate - what do we actually try is to make a great rende
r engine. With that being said, we have quite unique set of features - both in t
erms of shading and in terms of exclusive raytracing one (like clipper, triplana
r, etc), Stochastic BRDFs, GGX, etc. And of course - we have the GPU designed un
biased algorithm for lighting, named "adaptive lights", that provides unpreceden
ted speed

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:34: NEW SAMPLING SYSTEM IN VRAY TEND TO PRODUCE NOISE IN RENDER, IES LIGHT NO
ISE ISSUE IN VRAY , hOW SAMPLING WORK IN NEW VRAY
The new variance based sampling refers to different noise threshold. Look at thi
s video (from 20 min), probably it can help you understanding how the new VBAS w
orks <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2meTcxBfEs>

Yest... I would like to know how to render up to 7x faster with V-Ray for Sketch
up :)
You should wait for the upcoming release of V-Ray for Sketch Up. V-Ray shares th
e same App SDK as in 3ds Max.

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:36: Is there a fix for a glass like shader to stop it looking too internally
dark/murky ?
It depends on your scene. If you have some difficulties setting the glass you ca
n write to our dedicated 3d support. They are going to help with some tips
Physical materials, if there any new physicaly based shaders ? LIGHTS, VR, Inte
ractive render! When upgrade Scene Converter?
Yes, we have new alSurface material and we support now MDLs. We have Live VR ren
dering and new V-Ray IPR rendering.
How do you see future of rendering? What is the goal for next 5 years. Thanks
In our industry 5 years is a too long period for plans. Everything changes so qu
ickly. We are and we will continue to develop features and make improvements to
our software based on the feedback our users give us. So you guys have everythin
g you need to create your beautiful renders.
When to expect update for V-Ray for Rhino? =)
We are in final testing of the product. So, you can expect V-Ray 3 for Rhino ver
y soon.
Do the new version have opportunities f

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:36: Would be interesting to see how close vrat adv and vray RT got with the n
ew release
From now on you have the V-Ray IPR which is actually the V-Ray production, but i
nteractive. So it is the same.
Do you plan to create "how to" quick videos in order to improve and update the
help of vray?
Yes, we are already adding tutorials in our YouTube channel.
I've seen people with 5x GTX Titans spending 20 mins per frame in Vray RT. Are t
hey doing something wrong? Why is it so slow?
I cannot tell if and what they are doing wrong, because I need to see the scene
first. It always depends on the rendered scene. V-Ray GPU itself renders very qu
ickly.

can this processing gpu & cpu together?

Yes. But this won t be so optimized for rendering.
about new features in vray 3.5 against others render engine
I am not quite sure what is the question here. But I think that it can be notice
d that we are constantly developing features and this is not because someone els
e already have them for example. It is because our users need

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:36: Will we ever see a fully unbiased Vray version that runs completely on Gp
u
Yes, Bf/Bf
Will the newly introduced vrscans be implemented in print and films? If yes, the
n will it effect the career of a shading artist?
Yes, why not. Artists will work easier and faster.
Will we be getting swarm DBR
Will be added in the future
Biased and unbiased rendering comparing engines
Look here
Do you plan on utilising out of core gpu memory architecture
We can do that, but the rendering will be slower

Chaos Group HQ (to All - Entire Audience):

10:37: Does the ipr renderer work with distributed rendering?
No
Can we expect any improvements in the GPU RT version for single GPU workstations
, in regards to viewport performance?
Use the new option called Low GPU thread priority
Does the 3dmax vray materials can be transfered to maya in 100% accuracy?
Yes, using the vrmat or vrscene import
Managing vray rendering on other plugins like forest pro.
Yes
How long for the porting in vray for modo? Thank you.
Soon
When rendering animation i notice that th times are incresing exponential proble
m.
Try to contact our support team. They will help you.
How can we make Pure white back ground on product studio render without photosho
p?
Using white Background and matte shadow
How can we have Fog results in RT CUDA? :)
The Env. Fog is not supported on the GPU. But we support now the aerial perspect
ive. It is easy to control, gives very similar results and renders much faster t
hat the env. Fog.
We should use GGX BRDF Mode for all the materials, not only for metals? That
