V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D - planned features
Hello everyone,
To address some of the most common questions and concerns, I would like to give you an idea what our plans are in terms of the feature roadmap.
We're aiming to include all missing V-Ray 3.7 features in V-Ray 5 by the end of the year, excluding the ones that are considered deprecated. We'll start with the following features, which will be reintroduced with the next major update in a couple of months:
You’ll be able to access most of these features prior to the official releases, as they will be included in the latest stable builds as soon as they’re ready. Alongside working on the feature list above we are solving some of the issues that you report, and we're we’re frequently releasing hotfixes, so don’t forget to update to the latest version official V-Ray version or the latest stable build if you haven't already. You can access them on our nightlies server and official download section
Please note that the shared list is a subject to change and will be updated.
