Chaos Group to present Vray 3 sneak peak at Siggraph Asia

[Bullit]

Chaos Group is to provide a “sneak peak preview of what is coming in V-Ray 3.0″ at Siggraph Asia.

The announcement on the Chaos Group website doesn’t go into any more detail, but it does note that “new features expected with future releases [include] deep pixel image support, metaballs, Alembic support, Vismat materials, lens effects in the V-Ray frame buffer”.

We imagine we’ll have to wait until the show to discover whether all, some or none of those things are in version 3.0 itself. Siggraph Asia takes place in Singapore from 28 November to 1 December.

Have they released Vray 2 for Softimage yet?

[Bullit]

I have read that while the designation for current vray for softimage is not "2" the technology is mostly version 2 already.

Vray demo build is "V-Ray core version is 2.00.01"
hair stuff, retrace lightcache etc were not present until 2.x
