About Vray and C4D 9.6

[noseman]

there seems to be some trouble with the 9.6 installations.
Let's summarize what Stefan and others have mentioned:

a. VrayBridge only runs with version 9.6 UB, NOT PPC (also it runs ONLY with R10.1 NOT 10, download the updater, it's free)

b. Check your console and see if your C4D serial is correct. Also check for any other weird messages.

c. install properly:

1. the contents of "VrayLibsOSX_1.0.zip" go into "CINEMA 4D/contents/MacOS/" using "show package contents" (ONLY UB VERSION 9.6 or 10.1)

2. the contents of "VrayBridgeOSX_1.0.zip" (the folder named "VrayBridge") goes into the plugins folder, just like any other plugin.

3. the content of "VrayBridge.zip" is a file named "VrayBridge.key", goes in the Cinema 4D folder. The same folder as the application NOT THE CONTENTS.

I'm afraid that's not correct. As Stefan said in his e-mail containing the key and download links:

Here You can find Your downloadable product for both Windows and OSX (the OSX version works on Intel machines and PPC ones).

And over at CGtalk, Renato confirmed that the PPC version was ready a few days ago:

So there is still some problem with the installer apparently.

9.6 UB contains PPC code as well. Stefan is right. You are right and I am right.

When stefan refers to PPC he is not talking about the compilation (PPC compilation) but the compatibility with the PPC platform (G4 - G5). Thus the UB version.

9.6 PPC contains ONLY the PPC code and has been compiled with a non x-code compiler. 9.6 UB contains both PPC and intel code, that's why it's called UB (universal binary).

So the tagline is: Vraybridge runs on PPC macs, using C4D UB version 9.6 and 10.1.
most problems reported (including mine) are .key related

yes sorry we look into this. the ppc compile is so new that maybe some thing happened.

we son give all an update, thanks for reporting and helping:-)
cheers

Well that's news to me. I followed the massive thread at CGtalk and got the distinct impression that I would be able to run VrayforC4D on C4D 9.6 PPC, and thereby keep PPC only plugins as well.

So is it correct that there will never be a version of Vray for C4D that will run on the application called "Cinema 4D PPC"?

Here's a separate question. Has anyone running any version of Cinema 4D 9.6 been able to successfully run VrayforC4d?
