CGTalk - pb with Vray demo

07-18-2002, 09:25 PM

I just downloaded the Vray demo and I have a problem: when I render a blank scene (with nothing in it or just shapes) the renderer renders all (of course it's a black image).
But when there is some geometry in the scene, it starts the render with "... raycaster tree..." and bugs; well it don't do anything and max is just blocked -not crashed. Don't anyone know why is this?

actually i can't tell if its the demo or your os,.. but i know there was an isssue that vray hangs under ccertain circumstances. that has been fixed. The vray team is currently at siggraph and they will return after it ,.. perhaps you can post it in the vray forum when they've returned !

Good luck guys !

Make sure that your native Max Virtual frame buffer is turned off under the render menu, Vray has it's own.

Well, flypaper, thank for replying; but it still bugs the same way after unchecking it. Only there's no more virtual frame window :D
and in fact it bugs when it says "building SD tree(static raycast accelerator)"
