V ray for maya mac os

4. Follow the instructions of the installer; if you had a previous version of V-Ray for Maya, the installer will try to automatically remove it first.

$ cd vray_install_dir
$ sudo ./vray_adv_50000_maya2018_linux_x64
follow installer instructions
$ exit

5. Upon the start of the installation, Linux may ask you for permission to run the installer with administrator privileges. Please confirm.

6. You will be presented with the V-Ray licensing agreement. Please take a moment to review the agreement. Check the I accept the Agreement checkbox and click Install to proceed with standard installation.

If you need to customize your V-Ray installation, press the Advanced button.

V-Ray type

The available installation types are:

Full – This is a full installation and includes all components as described in the “Installation overview” section. It will allow you to use V-Ray in Maya do Distributed or Network Rendering, run IPR render server, use V-Ray SDK, and have V-Ray license server on this machine.
Standalone only – An installation which includes V-Ray Standalone and IPR render server. Please choose this option if you plan to use this machine only for Distributed Rendering with V-Ray Standalone and an IPR render server.
Add firewall exceptions – Automatically adds firewall exceptions so IPR for Maya and V-Ray Standalone can run uninterrupted.
Install Chaos Cloud Client – Enable this checkbox to install the Chaos Cloud client application. Chaos Cloud is a software as a service (SaaS) which allows you to submit and render scenes with cloud-based V-Ray. See more information on the Chaos Cloud page.

Directories & Feedback

Here you can specify the installation paths. Please check if the default folders are correct.

Help make V-Ray even better – Participate in the improvement decisions for future version of V-Ray. No intelligence property is violated when agreeing to participate in the feedback program. We do not gather scenes, assets, materials, etc. What we receive is user preferences on just a few key render settings and the resulting render times. The point of this feature is to improve V-Ray’s performance and the user experience. This preference can be changed at any time later on from the V-Ray Render Settings > Settings > About V-Ray > Feedback program settings. For more information, see the Chaos Group Telemetry page.

Licensing

In this step, you can specify whether the V-Ray license server will run locally or on another machine.

If you select the option Remote you will have to fill in the IP address of your V-Ray license server in the field Primary License Server. Please leave the port 30304 unchanged. An Alternate License Server is used when the primary one does not respond.

7. If you choose the Local Licensing Option, you are presented with the License Server installation.

Chaos License Server Options

At this step you can choose the license server directory.

Migrate data during installation – When enabled, transfers all of your settings made with older versions of the License Server, such as enabled dongle subsystem, proxy settings, etc. Disabling this option will install License Server with all settings at their defaults and any custom settings from the previous installation will be lost.

Add firewall exception – Enabling this option allows the default licensing port (TCP 30304) in the firewall. If you disable it at this step, you will need to manually add firewall exceptions later.

8. After you click the Install button, the installer will proceed to uninstall any previous versions and install V-Ray on your machine.

If the installer detects any applications that need to be closed, they will be listed before being able to continue. Please close them and click Continue.

9. Now V-Ray 5 is ready to render!

Some GUI Distributions of Linux may be incompatible with the GUI of the installer. In that case run the installation with -gui=0 attribute.

$ cd vray_install_dir
$ sudo ./vray_adv_50000_maya2018_linux_x64 -gui=0
follow installer instructions
$ exit

Check your License

Once the installation of the License Server is done, you are directed to the License Server local host ( 127.0.0.1:30304 ) in order to sign in and activate it.

The License Server will skip its installation process for two reasons:

• If it detects a previous installation of the Online License Server on your machine.
• If you choose the option Remote V-Ray license server on the network.

For full information on the License Server options and settings, see the Licensing section of the documentation.

Configure V-Ray

Loading the V-Ray for Maya Plugin

Once you have installed V-Ray for Maya, you can load the plugin from the Maya plugin Manager:

Open the Plugin Manager from the Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager menu.

Scroll down to the vrayformaya.mll plugin entry.

Check the Loaded and Auto-load options to load V-Ray for Maya.

Click Close.

Register V-Ray Render Slave as a Service

You can register the V-Ray Standalone application as a Windows service so that it runs automatically on Windows boot from the Windows Start > All Programs > V-Ray for Maya 20xx > Register V-Ray render slave as a service. V-Ray Standalone can now be used as a render server for Distributed Rendering, Network Rendering and rendering with IPR.

Running V-Ray Standalone

V-Ray Standalone is installed as part of the V-Ray for Maya installation. It can be started from Windows Start > All Programs > V-Ray for Maya 20xx > V-Ray standalone command prompt. Once started, you will need to start a command-line rendering by first calling the vray command and then adding parameters to it:

vray -sceneFile = «[v-ray scene file]»

where [v-ray scene file] is a .vrscene file. Start it without parameters to see a list of available command line options.

Running a V-Ray Standalone Render Server

You can use V-Ray Standalone render servers for distributed rendering, where a single frame is simultaneously calculated across many machines. Before you can use distributed rendering, you have to start the V-Ray Standalone application in render server mode on the machines that you wish to use. To do that, open the application from Windows Start > All Programs > V-Ray for Maya 20xx > Launch V-Ray render slave

Loading the V-Ray for Maya Plugin

Once you have installed V-Ray for Maya, you can load the plugin from the Maya plugin Manager:

Open the Plugin Manager from the Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager menu.

Scroll down to the vrayformaya.bundle plugin entry;

Check the Loaded and Auto-load options to load V-Ray for Maya.

If you do not see the vrayformaya.bundle entry, you will need to browse explicitly for it. The file is located by default in the /Applications/Autodesk/maya20xx/vray/plug-ins/ directory. The plugin will attempt to load a shared library, libvray.dylib, which is installed in the /Applications/Autodesk/maya20xx/Maya.app/Contents/MacOS/ folder and should be readily accessible for Maya to load without modifying the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

Note: do not attempt to make V-Ray for Maya load the libvray.dylib library with the same name for the standalone version of V-Ray, which is located in the /Applications/Autodesk/maya20xx/vray/bin folder. Attempting to load the V-Ray standalone library into Maya will cause Maya to crash immediately.

Running V-Ray Standalone

V-Ray Standalone is installed as part of the V-Ray for Maya installation. It can be executed using the vray bash script which is normally installed in the /Applications/Autodesk/maya20xx/vray/bin directory:

/Applications/Autodesk/maya2020/vray/bin/vray -scenefile=»[v-ray scene file]»

where [v-ray scene file] is a .vrscene file. Start it without parameters to see a list of available command line options.

Running a V-Ray Standalone Render Server

You can use V-Ray Standalone render servers for distributed rendering, where a single frame is simultaneously calculated across many machines. Before you can use distributed rendering, you have to start the V-Ray Standalone application in render server mode on the machines that you wish to use. To do that, run the following command from a Terminal window:

/Applications/Autodesk/maya20xx/vray/bin/vrayslave

where 20xx is the particular version of Maya (2020 etc).

Loading the V-Ray for Maya Plugin

Once you have installed V-Ray for Maya, you can load the plugin from the Maya plugin Manager:

Open the Plugin Manager from the Windows > Settings and Preferences > Plugin manager menu.

Scroll down to the vrayformaya plugin entry;

Check the Loaded and Auto-load options to load V-Ray for Maya.

If you do not see the vrayformaya entry, you will need to browse explicitly for the V-Ray for Maya plugin, which is called vrayformaya.so and is located by default in the /usr/autodesk/maya20xx/vray/plug-ins/ directory. The plugin will attempt to load a shared library, libvray.so, which is installed in the /usr/autodesk/maya20xx/lib folder and should be readily accessible for Maya to load without modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

NOTE: do not attempt to make V-Ray for Maya load the libvray.so library with the same name for the standalone version of V-Ray, which is located in the /usr/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/Standalone_for_Linux_x64/lib/linux_x64 folder. Attempting to load the V-Ray standalone library into Maya will cause Maya to crash immediately.

Running V-Ray Standalone

V-Ray Standalone is installed as part of the V-Ray for Maya installation. It can be executed using the vray bash script which is normally installed in the /usr/autodesk/maya20xx/vray/bin/ directory, for example:

$ /usr/autodesk/maya2020/vray/bin/vray -scenefile=»[v-ray scene file]»

Use the -help option to see a list of the available command line options.

Running a V-Ray Standalone Render Server

You can use V-Ray Standalone render servers for distributed rendering, where a single frame is simultaneously calculated across many machines. Before you can use distributed rendering, you have to start the V-Ray Standalone application in render server mode on the machines that you wish to use. This is done with the vrayslave command, for example:

$ /usr/autodesk/maya2020/vray/bin/vrayslave
