V-Ray Standalone announcement

A Small Piece of Hell Icrontian
Chaosgroup, the developers of V-Ray for 3DS MAX as well as SimCloth and Phoenix have announced they are going to develop a standalone version of V-Ray, with connections to Maya and 3DS MAX. Read more here.
I think this is more of a response to Cebas Final|Render announcment that they were going to be the first ones out of the major 3DSMAX rendering plugins to make it to Maya. Brazil r/s seemingly gave up on moving to Maya and will be fully integrated into future versions of Rhino. Final|Render and V-Ray will not be the first to Mayaland, they will have a lot of trouble taking away from the two major rendering markets there already, Mental Ray and Pixar's PRman.
