Vray Plugin not showing in 3ds max 2018

[Anonymous]

I have installed the Vray plugin for 3d max 2018 and I have the plugin folder with a ton of files in it. In the plugin folder but the renderer is not showing up in 3d max under render setup.

What to do?

have you tried the old school way of using the 3ds max plugin manager? https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/3DSMa...

Hello @Anonymous,

As mentioned by @rendermaster, the 2018 version of Vray isn't released yet.  The 2017 version won't work in 2018.  For problems with various plugins, it's always best to post on the forums of the plugin makers rather than here as there's not much I can do about Vray errors or problems.  Thanks!

Best Regards,
