The Evermotion site only sales in Europe. Found this site, http://shop.vray.info/rendering-engines/v-ray-maya.html but the price is WAY more than 250 euros(355 USD). Its more like $964.00! too high for me. Can anyone point me to a cheaper source for US? What about in the US? The Evermotion site only sales in Europe. Found this site,

You can use whatever platform is best at a given time, and that is just fabulous. Thanks for the info on the rendernodes. I didn't know it was possible to use multiple computers with 1 license. Great news actually! Sebastian,

But the Standalone does include 10 licenses for Distributed Rendering, which I meant by "rendernodes". But you can only start the rendering from 1 node. So you can use 10 computers to render your images or animations, but you cannot start a different render from one of these computers simultaneously. Unfortunately it is indeed just 32bit on mac. But you don't purchase per platform, you purchase just the license for the Standalone. You can download any version of VRay, be it Mac, Linux or Windows, 32- or 64bit and use it with your license. @Willem: Yeah, it is a bit confusing.

For VRay including 10 rendernodes you would pay around 600€, which still is less than V-Ray for Maya or Max. Also, note that there isn't a 64-bit version of V-Ray for the Mac, so if you want to use your full memory, you better go for the 64-bit windows version. That said, this is one of the coolest features ever added to Blender, and it will open Blender up more easily for archviz and feature film.
