  1. Thanks a lot Oblique! you are GREAT!!! and of course thanks to everyone who make this job.

      • Stop bothering the other … if I want to use the mac version is my thing.

        Live your life and be happy

        peace!

        :)

      • I hope so! Is OSX bad, because it?s too expensive to you? Or are you simply too stupid to use it?
        Do you want to know waht?s killing ME? Such intolerant and stupid comments.

  2. Whats the difference between this and the post be teque over here?

    https://cgpersia.com/2011/07/v-ray-2-00-04-for-maya-2011-2012-x32x64-2-17276.html

    is it the same,,or urs the latest one?!

  3. On IPR, GPU RT Renderer only renders somekinda alpha channel, no materials. CPU RT Renderer works well. I have a GTX295 with latest drivers. Anyone got a solution?

    • Here a GTX 560ti renders alternating pixels on a chessboard pattern. I’ve read somewhere that vray RT back in 1.51 had problems in a single GPU system, but I don’t think this issue would persist. Also I’m getting performance pretty close to the CPU (Phenom II X2 1090T). It has to be something wrong here (and yes, I’ve checked and each PU charged 100% on it’s choice).

      Also, GPU crashes quite easy with a simple real case scene relativelly clean and small. But CPU RT is pretty stable and quite fast.
      How is everybody else experiencing it? Maya 2012 64bits here.

  4. Apologies, if you have installed teque version be sure to remove it then install this, fur the seems to now work. very many thanks!

  5. Thanks a lot but I have this problem:

    The old one by teque was working. Iremoved it and installed this one but not working for me.

    • I’ve got the same problem as well. Does anyone have a fix for this?

      • Same problem here. Quoting the post:

        “Well, we decided not only to exceed esanti?s crap release…”

        It’s really saddening that such ofensive behaviour is often backed up by nothing more than egocentric, imature pretension and an arrogant tendency to presume that strangers are dumb.
        Shurely our problem reports will be read with the same predisposition towards aliens with no concern to the multitude of software nuances.

        It’s a little bit funny because the installer leaves little room for doubt. But I admire the will to do that, even if it turns out useless “crap” in some cases.

        Back to Teque’s again. No fur, but it could render much more than just errors.

    • I don’t know at which point I got it sorted out, but after having the same problem, I got it working after a series of install/deinstall. So here are the steps as I remembered if you are looking for hope anywhere:

      – Teque’s installed and working fine
      – Uninstall Teque’s, installed this from rar. Not working.
      – Tryed Braga’s workaround (below in the comments) without success.
      – Uninstalled this, reinstalled Teque’s. Working fine again.

      Wanted fur, gave a few more shots:
      – Uninstalled Teque’s and deleted the Vray folder (effectivelly rending Braga’s workaround irrelevant).
      – Installed this outside rar – not working again. Uninstalled and reinstalled Teque’s.
      – Installed this without uninstalling Teque’s. Maya was still working with Teque’s.
      – Uninstalled Teque’s, it naturally stoped working.
      – Repaired this installation – not working
      – Installed Teque’s and immediatelly uninstalled it (without applying crack).
      – Repaired this installation again and this one finally worked. BTW: vray fur is not That beautifull for grass at first plane.

      So there’s hope. I just don’t know where it is. Good luck for anyone interested.

        • Sorry if you can’t afford Vray and some employees. At least you increased the wealth of a company which won’t care for you if you don’t pay full price religiously.

          • PC – Games (amateurs)

            Mac – Graphic Designers, 3D Artists, Art Directors…

            Keep going whith Uncle Bill !!!!

            • A Mac does NOT make a pro! And there are MANY pros using a PC.
              In what a black and white world do you live?

            • I study at a design university with graphic designers and art directors, and Cinema 4D noobs – Never seen an 3D artist there. But I can tell u from my subjective perspective:
              MAC Users: Mostly fashion victims with absolutely NO technical knowledge thinking they are somewhat better cause they paid a lot of $ for nothing. Think most of them just want to belong to “the group” cause they are not very self-confident and somewhat narrow minded.
              Beside that – from the hardware perspective – there is no difference between MAC and PC anymore. You can install osx on common inexpensive standard hardware. so just the shiny aluminium cases make the main difference and of course the mirror. you can see everything on that cinema displays except the stuff you are working on when you don’t want to work in a dark chamber. the 30″ cinema displays with matt finish are okay.
              As I am forced to use osx a lot in school i can tell u also that adobe cs4 programs are crashing on both.
              And last our windows 7 rendering machines (24 core 64GB RAM) are strangely very frequently used by mac fanboys too ^^

            • It is not the operating system that makes the “artist”. (sidenote – that goes also for plugins)
              The different OSs does have their pro and cons and now it is much more of what you do prefer and some software only exist on a specific Os.
              Today you can run both Os on a single computer both on a PC and a Mac.

              I worked in both Mac and PC enviroment. I do like Windows more (it suits me more for what I do and I like what MacOs can do for other things.
              But you can still do most of the things on both OS and they work mostly the same in performance on a new computer

      • You mean like a military camp? Are you going there or should MacRumors… meeehhh.. pfzz..

        • So, what is the point of this discussion ? Just to say that our little friend medafor, like to wear boots on a camp ?

          Guys, whe only need a VRay 2 Osx Version, whe don’t need people talking about OSs, i like OSX, some people like Win, i don’t give a sh** about the systems i just don’t want to pay 1.350 bucks for a Plugin.

          Thanks dude !!!

  6. Awesome oblique as always, killer crack, working perfectly on a win7 64 bit platform and maya 2011, no bugs, fully working version. Thanks a million man !

  7. sorry scrub that but I have a different problem I can’t get past the installer part. I picked maya 2012 folder, and I then went to install and I get the error message “There is a problem with Windows installer package.A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or Package vendor”…

    anyone else experiencing this problem and if you know what’s wrong could you help me please….

  8. For those who are getting problems with the error: ?VRAY_FOR_MAYA2011_MAIN_x64?. Please re-install.

    Just copy the file “timeZones.txt” from
    “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\vray\scripts”

    TO

    “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\vray\plug-ins\scripts”
    You will have to create the folder “scripts” inside the plug-ins folder.

    Restart maya.

    I did it here and worked fine =D

    • It didn’t work for me and I’ve triple checked for typos. As Duff, I had the previous version from Teque working and unistalled it before installing this one. Reverted to Teque’s.

  9. A non bootcamp* version? OSX and linux version without running it on a gaming environment would be great:)

    *That’s apparently the answer now to a mac version request.

  10. Only exe file in archive – vraymayax64.exe.
    Is it precracked?

    • Yeah! It should ideally be called “vraymayax64 (CGPersia Custom Installer).exe”

  11. When I browse for vrayformaya.mll
    Error
    // Error: The specified module could not be found.
    (vrayformaya) //

    WIN 7 x64
    Maya 2011 x64 hotfix 3

    • I have faced the same issue browsing vrayformaya.mll . Have you found the solution yet?

  14. YOURE AMAZING GUYS THANKS SO MUCH WORKS PRETTY NICE I LUV YOU CGPERSIA!!!!!!!!!

    or the previous installer will do?

  16. the sunlight seem very strong by default value=1
    I need to reduce to 0.05 to normal light
    Any fixed this?

  17. How can I do a BatchRender?
    renderlog : Error: The renderer vray is not registered yet.

  18. I have installed “Vray1” in “Maya 2010 x32”
    Can I install “Vray2” and keep “Vray1”, or I need to uninstall “Vray1”?
    I have old proyects shared whith other people, and I need them both.

    tnks

    Ps: sorry for my bad english.

    • why do you people always apologies for you English skill?! :)
      your ‘s fine and as long as your goal is reached, It doesn’t matter

      you need to uninstall it because Vray.dll is the same and can’t be kept both at the time..
      take care

  19. yes, linux… love that OS, love each flavour :) everything can be hand cracked… and internet is the repository for the solution of the problem you face…

    buy a PC, install a free OS, put maya + render farm + vray and we’re done… make money and save to buy maya and vray for future :)
