        Always happy to see an update. Thank you!

        It looks like you missed a UI element for "(*) V-Ray: Some controls in the UI of materials and textures have darker background in 3ds Max 2017 and later"...the "An. rotation" in the VrayMtl Maps Rollout still has the dark background. Whoo hooo on the others - it makes it so much better to look at.

              Thanks for the update, any insight into the freezing VFB issue when rendering? I appreciate you guys are working on finding a fix but any interim fixes I can try? I am more then happy to give it go as its so frustrating and heavily effects our workflow. For me the whole PC locks up, no matter if progressive or bucket. Sometimes if I am lucky it unfreezes and I can press cancel. But 95% of the time the only way I can cancel a render is by force closing 3ds Max via the task manager which is not ideal at all

                  Hi
                  A question, because this a on line licence, can i install on the office pc and the home pc.
                  I have been using Corona due to the unreliability of the VPN licence.

                    Surely the use of a VPN, which disguises you identity online, would prevent VRay's online licensing from recognising your system. Never used a VPN myself but sounds like a problem to me...However I could be wrong
