This page provides information on Telemetry for the V-Ray for Houdini Improvement Program.
Overview
The V-Ray improvement program is based on telemetry. It allows Chaos to track general V-Ray usage statistics as well as automatically collect crash information. The type of information that is collected includes some parameter values that people use most often, which will allow Chaos to optimize and improve V-Ray's performance. No personal identifiable information, scenes, assets, or materials are collected.
The collected data is sent when Houdini is closed, and is stored locally in text files. For Windows the files can be found in the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ChaosGroup\telemetry. For Linux and macOS the files can be found in the home directory of the current user: ${HOME}/.ChaosGroup/telemetry/. The collected data is viewable with a text editor.
Enable Feedback Program
The Feedback program is activated by enabling Help make V-Ray even better checkbox, available upon pressing the Advanced button of the installer.
