An online account at ChaosGroup.com for downloads of the VRay installer
An online account at the VRay official forums (limited to VRay Advanced Owners) for discussion and support. This is an excellent resource for active users to solve problems.
Ability to download VRay for any version of 3ds max, 3ds VIZ, or 3ds max design from version 7 to current. Both 32 and 64 bit installers are available for max 9 to current.
Ability to run (simultaneously) VRay on any version of 3ds max from 7 to current on one workstation
Ability to render VRay on unlimited render slave machines (using 3ds max with backburner - call Trinity3D if you need help setting this up)
Ability to render VRay in "Distributed" mode where "spawner" on slave machines will contribute buckets to a primary machine. Up to 10 computers may contribute buckets (one bucket per core), this is a technical limitation from network traffic. Usually you will use BackBurner to render your stills and animations across multiple machines
Ability to float VRay on your network so that any one workstation can interact with VRay in max.
Documentation is online and updated with new versions

NOTE: This product requires that you already own 3ds max and VRay 1.5 SP3.
VRay RT is NOT available for VRay EDU.
Free Domestic Ground Shipping (if shipping is necessary - see below).
LICENSING: the VRay RT license resides on a WIBU key. You can add it to your existing VRay Advanced WIBU key. Because VRay RT requires VRay Advanced for 3ds max, most customers will prefer to reprogram their hardware key with the added license. If you never got your WIBU hardware key but you do own any prior version of VRay Advanced for 3ds max, contact us and we will provide you with a key.
INSTALLATION: You will be able to download the VRay RT installer for your version of 3ds max from your account at ChaosGroup.com starting June 1. If you have lost your login information, please contact us and we will resend it.
Product details:
Created with the busy and rigorous 3D artist in mind, this top notch raytracing technology allows immediate interaction between the user and the virtual environment. V-Ray RT follows the user’s actions while working on the scene and automatically and progressively generates a photorealistic preview of the scene. Designed to improve and speed up the Texturing and Lighting stage of 3D scene creation.
General
The V-Ray RT interactive rendering system has many advanced features; here only some of them are listed. Note that all features are subject to change without special notice.
Currently it is CPU-based. Does NOT require special graphics cards
Currently the V-Ray RT technology is based on CPUs - it does NOT require any special or expensive graphics cards. All V-Ray RT needs is CPUs. As usual - we will use ALL of your CPUs and cores at no extra license cost.
However, the V-Ray RT architecture is very robust and if needed - it can seemlessly be implemented to allow new hardware acceleration technologies in the future.
Distributed rendering
V-Ray RT supports distributed rendering across multiple machines in the local network.
Integration with 3ds Max
V-Ray RT is an ActiveShade renderer in 3ds Max, separate from the production V-Ray renderer. V-Ray RT does not introduce new plugins other than the interactive renderer itself. Instead, the existing 3ds Max and V-Ray materials, textures, lights, cameras etc. are used.
V-Ray RT consists of two major components:
V-Ray RT interactive renderer in 3ds Max;
One or more V-Ray RT render servers.
V-Ray RT performs the actual rendering outside of 3ds Max itself, with the help of the V-Ray RT render server(s), which can run either locally on the same machine, or on other machine(s) in the local network. The renderer plugin in 3ds Max only relays the scene changes to the render servers and displays the final result.
Interactivity
A major feature of V-Ray RT is its ability to track changes to the scene performed by the user and automatically update the ActiveShade preview. The following scene changes are supported:
Same day shipping when ordered Monday - Friday before 4pm Central US time.
Available for US, Mexico and Canada only. Other Nations must purchase from their local dealers, per request of Chaos Group (makers of VRay).
All licenses are non-transferable once registered. Once having purchased the product, the end user will not be allowed to transfer or sell their rights to third parties.
