Installation

From Kraytracing Wiki

Kray.ls contains user interface for Kray (Master class plugin). Kray.p contains render core, 3 generic plugins "KrayFrame", "KrayAnim", "KrayOptions", shaders and motion modifier.

You can connect them to Layout buttons or assign hot keys. You can also reach Kray through "Master plugins/Add Layout or Scene Master".

Important

• Kray will not run on LW version older than 7.5.
• It is advisable that you put Kray.ls LightWave's Lscripts dir.
• We recommend that you uninstall old Kray plugins and restart LightWave before installing new one.
