V-Ray Next GPU support

[Ledian]

Hi Tyson,

I see there are no plans for V-Ray GPU support on roadmap.
Any plans on adding that in your to do list?

I think it already does, doesn't it?

I tried the cloth/paper sample scene and that rendered fine in V-Ray Next GPU...

it seems (from my brief test)  that the vray instancer geometry particle output doesnt render in vray GPU...   im not sure why since  3.6 and vray NEXT , both support vrayinstancer on GPU..

Indeed it does, IPR is the one it does not work with.

Unfortunately VRay GPU doesn't seem to support instancing at all. I've tried both in tyFlow and the VRay Instancer sample project that comes shipped with VRay....neither render with VRay GPU.

I haven't asked the VRay devs why, yet....hopefully this issue can be solved in the future.

I get a tyFLow is incompatible with Vray NEXT GPU. Instancing is disabled notification when I look in render under a tycache

[tyFlow]

That is correct.

May I ask if V-Ray Next GPU support is being considered for the future or is there a fundamental and insurmountable incompatibility there.

[tyFlow]

There's no insurmountable incompatibility, but there's also not ETA. ChaosGroup changed their SDK for Next GPU so it's no longer possible for devs to implement instancing on their own, and I haven't yet begun the process of working with CS to get tyFlow instances implemented for GPU.

Thanks for the quick response!
