We haven’t get used to VRAY 1.5 SP3 and now Chaos Group is presenting the new version Service Pack 4. This upgrade will be free for download from the Chaos Group website, for those with the SP3 version. Among the upgrades and new features it brings ambient light and the possibility of using arbitrary meshes as gizmos for VRayEnvironmentFog.

The V-Ray 1.50 Service Pack 4 is compatible with Autodesk 3ds Max 8, Autodesk 3ds Max, 9, Autodesk 3ds Max, 2008, 3ds Max, 2009, Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2009, Autodesk, 3ds Max 2010, Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010.

New features:

(*) Added VRayAmbientLight;

Modified features:

(*) Improved multithreading on multi-core machines;
(*) Ability to specify gizmo falloff for VRayEnvironmentFog;
(*) Ability to use arbitrary meshes as gizmos for VRayEnvironmentFog;
(*) Option to exclude the background from VRayEnvironmentFog;
(*) Added CIE sky models to the VRaySun and VRaySky;
(*) It is now possible to submit DR servers list for DR though backburner;
(*) Added for the VRayIES light to not use area speculars;
(*) Added Kelvin temperature settings for the color of VRayLights;
(*) VFB history is now turned off when 3ds Max is in slave mode;
(*) Output .vrimg and split channel paths are listed in the Asset Tracker;
(*) GI cache files (irradiance maps, light cache etc) are listed in the Asset Tracker;

Bug fix:

(*) Crash with Remove button for lights in VRayEnvironmentFog;
(*) Crash with Hair&Fur in 3ds Max Design 2010 (Danculo);
(*) Issue with Arch&Design materials in multi/sub-object material;
(*) It should not be possible to export already created VRayProxy objects as .vrmesh files;
(*) Fixed invalid colors with texture-mapped lights when the texture contains

Core Architecture

* VRaySphereFade to isolate only specific portions of the scene for compositing

Frame buffer

* VRay specific frame buffer with integrated color corrections and display of multiple rendering elements
* Direct rendering to disk for extremely large images, either as OpenEXR files or as .vrimg files

*all the features are subject to change without special notice.
