For 3ds Max versions later than 2018, when you export and render with New V-Ray Frame Buffer enabled, the scene analyzer prints the following warning: "Vrscenes rendered with V-Ray 5 Standalone will only output files without a preview buffer".

When you click on the Preview button in the Cloud submitter, the same message is printed, along with a pop up: "Interactive preview is not supported yet, please wait until the end of rendering". Then an auto-saved preview file opens automatically when the rendering is finished.

Users of V-Ray 5, Update 1, will no longer encounter these warnings.
