Installing V-Ray for Cinema 4D
This section describes the installation of V-Ray for Cinema 4D using the provided installer.
Windows
To complete the installation follow these steps:
1. You will be presented with the V-Ray licensing agreement. Please take a moment to review the agreement. Check the I accept the Agreement checkbox and click Install to proceed with standard installation.
If you need to customize your V-Ray installation, press the Advanced button.
V-Ray type
The available installation types are:
Workstation – A full installation that includes V-Ray for Cinema 4D, IPR for Cinema 4D, V-Ray Standalone, V-Ray Tools.
Standalone – An installation which includes 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 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.
Directories
Here 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. We do not gather scenes, assets, materials, etc. What we receive 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. For more information, see the Chaos Group Telemetry page.
Licensing
In this step, you can specify whether the V-Ray license server will run locally or on another machine.
If you select the option Remote you will 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.
2. If you choose the Local Licensing Option, you are presented with the License Server installation.
Chaos License Server Options
At this step you can choose the license server directory.
Migrate data during installation – When enabled, transfers all of your settings made with older versions of the License Server, such as enabled dongle subsystem, proxy settings, etc. Disabling this option will install License Server with all settings at their defaults and any custom settings from the previous installation will be lost.
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.
3. After you click the Install button, the installer will proceed to uninstall any previous 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.
4. If the installation was successful, you will get the final screen.
5. Now V-Ray 5 is ready to render!
