V-Ray for Modo discontinued

Chaos has announced that V-Ray for Modo is discontinued from December 20, 2021. Chaos said “some products eventually reach their natural end of life”.

This date marks the end of sales, technical support and downloads for existing license owners will continue for a further year until December 31, 2022. First released in 2016, V-Ray for Modo was in active development for a five-year product lifespan, but had not received a major release since 2019’s V-Ray Next for Modo: it was not updated to V-Ray 5, the current version.

Of the editions of V-Ray for Foundry’s other software, V-Ray for Nuke is still in active development, with V-Ray 5.2 for Nuke shipping earlier this month.
