V-Ray 5 officially supports 3ds Max 2018-2023. We do provide installation builds for 3ds Max 2016-2017 and they should work as expected; however, support for these versions is unofficial as we cannot test V-Ray under versions prior to 3ds Max 2018, due to Autodesk licensing restrictionsV-Ray 6 for 3ds Max supports 3ds Max 2018–2023. Several V-Ray features require 3ds Max 2019 or newer to work, including V-Ray Proxy hierarchy, batch loading multi-sub textures, faster UI, and Chaos Cloud collaboration from the VFB. |
