Just a few questions on the latest updates

General Improvements

  • Fixed an issue on macOS Catalina that could prevent Client applications like deadlinecommand from running.

Is this the issue that was previously solved by putting the shell command in the security options and is this no longer required? or is it still required but not by deadlinecommand etc?

3ds Max

  • Added support for V-Ray GPU rendering to the V-Ray Standalone workflow in SMTD.

Thanks, will test this out some point, I imagine it includes CUDA & RTX like the quick fix Bobo sorted out, will the other V-Ray fixes be implemented in the next release?

Maya

  • V-Ray 5 for Maya is now supported.
  • V-Ray GPU Affinity can now be set when using the MayaBatch plugin.

Thanks! Any ETA on official releases for 3ds / Rhino and all the other many apps V-Ray 5 is available for?

Does the V-Ray GPU Affinity respect other jobs? If you are running multiple slaves on a multiple GPU box will this start to get messy?

Nope, just the initial GPU changes. The CUDA and RTX improvements will be in the next point release. Sorry about that, we made those changes on the forum in phases, too :slight_smile:
