## **Disclaimers**

---

- V-Ray 6.2 works best with LookDevX version 1.2. Make sure you use the compatible Autodesk Maya and USD versions. For more information, check the [Autodesk Maya help page](https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-5C076445-22FB-4C74-9147-43672BCF88CD) and the official Maya [USD Github page](https://github.com/Autodesk/maya-usd/releases).
- Maya USD 0.29 is not supported by V-Ray for Maya, due to a discrepancy when exporting V-Ray data to USD stages.
- Maya 2026.2 and Maya 2026.3 come with two USD versions for Maya USD 0.33 and 0.34/0.34.5 - 25.05 and 24.11. However, V-Ray supports only the default 24.11 version.
- Autodesk USD Asset Resolver added in MayaUSD 0.34 doesn't work with V-Ray 7, update 2. V-Ray continues to use the V-Ray USD asset resolver.
