Has anyone else seen this, and is anyone going to try to get in on it? Project Soane

I wonder if they'll take DS 4.9 Iray renders...

I'm surprised no one jumped on this considering it is Iray friendly.  I wish I had the time and creativity for something like that.

Hmm it says it must be rendered in Autodesk software : ( I do have Maya but I don't have Iray for Maya.

"which can be rendered in your favorite Autodesk or NVIDIA Iray plugin software" I would think Studio counts even though its not so much a plug in.

I doubt it. The way I read it is you have to use Autodesk software as part of the process, which is probably why they include links to the trail versions. the IRAY mention is just a plugin for 3DSmax. Since i use Max, I guess I could create the scene in Max, then export as an .OBJ to DS and then use Iray. That would be my only oprtions as I doubt the IRAY plugin for Max would work on my older version of Max and I can't see paying $295 for the Max plugin.

That is a shame.
