--- title: "7.30.04" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/VMAX/798032004/7.30.04" format: markdown --- ## V-Ray 7, update 3, hotfix 1 *Official release* Date - May 05, 2026 > Macro (ui-button) ### **Modified features** --- **V-Ray** - Gray out all GŠ°ussian Splat lighting controls when the lighting is disabled, and gray out the Shadow blur and Offset when "Use normals" is set to "Disabled" **VFB** - If LightCache denoising is enabled, Denoiser stays ON during progressive GPU rendering, but is not updated ### **Bugfixes** --- **V-Ray** - Follow up: Vantage config file/changes are reset when starting Live-Link animation rendering from V-Ray for 3ds Max - update for DR2 builds - DR2 No bucket name in the RGB channel for a machine that is both a dispatcher and a server (-run-dispatcher=2) - DR2 Crash with local dispatcher on render and cancel with ForestPro scene - DR2 Crash at the end of localhost render when scene contains MaterialX - DR2 Crash on render end when object has CoronaLegacyMtl applied - DR2 Crash on render end when object has PhysicalMaterial applied - DR2 Crash on render end when object has OpenPBR material applied - DR2 Random crash on render start with client-side dispatcher - Lights and shapes excluded from camera are still rendering in production CPU render - Crash when using a global light manager without support for caustic beams (i.e. when doing vertex baking). - V-Ray crashes upon opening specific scene with a proxy referencing defective geometry data (from Cosmos) - Manage Chaos License Server incorrectly opens Chaos Account dialog - Wrong visibility overrides for objects in VRayPhysicalCamera on V-Ray CPU **V-Ray GPU** - Crash with DR1 when stopping V-Ray GPU IPR after moving the render view - VRayAtmosphere renders incorrectly with V-Ray GPU VRayBackToBeauty and DR2 - VRayParallaxTex nested in VRayMultiSubTex renders without hue/saturation randomization in V-Ray GPU (CUDA) - Memory leak when starting renders - Moon is distorted when Horizon offset is used - Different position on VRaySun disk with Horizon offset parameter on CPU and GPU - Wrong lighting with resumable rendering if the rendering is paused during Light Cache Calculations - V-Ray GPU - RTX and CUDA **VFB** - Incorrectly written VFB 'frame' stamp data saved in animated sequence images **VRaySun** - Crash on 3ds Max exit with the Night sky **VRayDecal** - Export difference with Chaos Scatter (edge trimming enabled) when using grouped VRayDecal and geometry as the source object
