Before running the installation, make sure your Windows account has administrative privileges. 1. Upon the start of the installation, Windows may ask you for permission to run the installer with administrator privileges. Please confirm.
2. You will be presented with the V-Ray licensing agreement. Please take a moment to review the agreement. Once you've carefully read the End User License Agreement, you can click "I accept the Agreement" if you agree to the terms. If you need to customize your V-Ray installation, click the Advanced button.
V-Ray typeThe 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 for Distributed or Network Rendering, to run IPR render server, use V-Ray SDK, and have V-Ray license server on this machine. Standalone only – This installation 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. DirectoriesHere 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. Chaos does not gather scenes, assets, materials, etc. What Chaos receives 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 Telemetry page.
LicensingIn this step, you can specify whether the V-Ray license server runs locally or on another machine. If you select the Remote option you 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. |
3. If you select the Local Licensing Option, you are presented with the Chaos License Server installation. Note that if you choose Remote V-Ray license server on the network option, the License Server will skip its installation process.
Chaos License Server Options4. At this step you can choose the license server directory. 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.
5. After you click the Install button, the installer will proceed to stop any interfering applications such as the Unified login.
Then, it will uninstall any previous V-Ray 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.
6. Now V-Ray is ready to render! |
