Me again..
I wont to know how.. we can use.. Truespace + vray.. and do good things.. if practicly doesnt work Anything... Have lot of problems, bugs, doesnt work with layers, doestn work animation textures... doesnt work properly lights..
Realy its incredible how caligari put on sale this plugin.. and sale for 199 U$S.. i know is to cheap.. but Cheap = unusable???
Now in my case, i need to do a showroom with many flat tvs showing a tv spot, and what?? i can do with vray?!?!??!?!?!
To use Lightworks i use ts6.6 because is far less bugy and stable than ts7.11
What, we cant use animated water bump mapping, we cant use people n motion?
Yes, im angry because this problem lock me on my work.. i think in how i spend my money...
I wont to know when caligari gonna upgrade vray plugin.... and see a list of fixed bugs...
Best regards. |

Rather unfair to say it is unusable - I have seen many stunning renders from non-Caligari staff using V-Ray, and those have been in commercial projects too. So clearly it is perfectly usable.
It is unfortunate that it doesn't seem to be serving your purpose so well. Most others are not using the projector lights to simulate televisions for example.
It is fair to raise issues like projector lights having unusual distortions to their textures, and you'll get an answer to that. Not the same as listing it as unsuable though, and the plug-in remains very worthwhile as while there are things it does not support, there are many things it does support which no other tS renderer does.
I myself am using it in non-Caligari work, and it has made lighting and rendering MUCH easier than it would have been for me to get similar results under Lightworks.
Also bear in mind that Lightworks support in tS is VERY mature, we have been using them as a render engine since tS4, so we have had plenty of time to develop a material system that ties in to their engine, uses layers etc. We have not had so much time to develop a material system to work in tandem with V-Ray.
Also bear in mind that these are not necessarily Caligari issues. There are things that we have to raise as bugs or problems with the V-Ray developers, as always these relationships are symbiotic, not all one side or the other! That does mean though that we are left waiting before we can fix some things too.
Obviously we are sorry to hear that the projects you have been working on have required effects that are not currently supported under V-Ray. Extra features are being developed for V-Ray.
Naturally there are also bugs and improvements required, and we are sorry those affect you too, and we will work on fixing those.
All the same, it certainly is not a "useless" plug-in, as many satisfied customers will be happy to say! Sure it can be better, but that's a different thing from saying it is not already useful! :)
HTH,

Tom.. how are you...
Thanks for your post..
About your comments..
"Most others are not using the projector lights to simulate televisions for example."
I never use a projector light to simulate television.. maybe to simulate a cinema and i cant too.. (animation im talking)
I use texture animation to do a tv.. and now i need to do that and i cant.
Animation texture its work for many other stuffs like create fake waves with bump mapping.. Create Texture with alpha to simulate smoke from a cigarret... People n motion have people walking...bla bla bla...
Yes, I have lot of trubles, and some times i found some the way to work with no problem. i report many as bug because they are .. If you see on this forum.. i post many many bugs... some very importants, some not.
About Vray?? I wont to work all the day with VRAY.. Are the most incredible thing on 3D ever.. And when i say its Unusable i say when you have problems on Vray 1.0 and you can do your work because its like "uncompleted" Thats unusable...
Things that are now esencials on any 3d.. are not working.. Like Texture Mapping or animation texture. Or problems with lights... Thats what i mean..
I work on some proyects with Vray.. and if i show to Caligari.. i complete sure, thats gonna blow your mind...
HERE i wont to say at public, what MUST have any render engine as BASIC.. And most a render engine like VRAY!..
I wont to know if Vray its gonna be updated soon on TS7.5 and if you can.. say whats gonna be fixed.. Thats i wont to know as any customer here...
