Some updates for this one. Details at: https://rendering.ru/vrayscatter-for-maya.html Changelog: support for latest V-Ray Next install as module only removed support for Maya older than 2017 and V-Ray older than 3.6 several bug fixes Protection remains the same as before.
Upgraded to 4.604 including VRay 5 support. Changelog: added support for V-Ray 5 beta slope controls border clip mode several bug fixes The same protected byte as always
Updated to 4.606. A single fix according to the developers plus support for the VRay 5 release version. The change: texture distribution fix Being a minor fix, the patch point is at the same spot as in 4.604. If you can live without the above fix, you can use the patched file from 4.604 and get to use the 4.606 updated Vray component. A very old scene that a smart guy in the earlier incarnation of this forum had posted. I scattered the reflective sphere in the grass over the left wall.
A new v4.608 came out with some, mostly unspecified, fixes. The same protected byte so I didn't bother waiting for a render for it. Changelog (4.608): macOS installer fix several bug fixes and improvements
Great, how about a download link... just one out of the last 1000 you have teased with. Just think how may likes you would get
I don't give a hoot for likes, especially not on something that everybody could have done if they'd only tried. But don't let them go to waste. Give some likes to yourself or to any of the people that will try and post the following, ready-to-use. Here's a helping hand: 1. Get your working cracked version for Maya 2020. You need an unprotected one, else leave this exercise for one of the crackers that have it. I'm not going to post my famous 1-byte crack that poets have written about 2. Install it under Maya 2022 or simpler, just copy its folder from C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2020\plug-ins over to the same spot in 2022. You should also have a VRayScatterForMaya.mod in one of Maya 2020 \modules\ folders. Copy it to the similar place in 2022 and remember to change the text inside it, to point to the new 2022 folders. Use cracker tool "a". 3. Use cracker tool "b" and do a Search and Replace in text mode on two files under the new 2022 \Vrayscatter\ folder. VrayScatter.mll and MultiScatterVray.dll Change all occurrences of the text 2020 to 2022 and save the files. The dll has a single occurrence of it. 4. You're a cracker. Scatter away and be happy. Cracker tools: a) Notepad b) Any Hex Editor How's this for an uncracked crack?
I used the 2-byte fix up to 3-4 releases back. It's still two bytes changed but through a patcher instead. I don't remember why I switched to the new way. No tuts for this I'm afraid. It takes more than a hex editor and notepad and I don't have the patience to explain it.
Updated to 4.615. No need anymore to patch the 2020 version to run in 2022. It's officially supported now. Changelog: added support for V-Ray 5.2 added support for Maya 2022 several bug fixes and improvements And since I don't post that 1 byte, you can at least enjoy a bite from the cookies
I never managed to mod the 4.615 to work with VRay 6 but luckily the developer upgraded it. After a quick double update, it's now at v4.619. Changelog: added support for V-Ray 6 added support for Maya 2023 several bug fixes and improvements Same protection as usual.
