Hi, I only speak Spanish. I have a similar problem with "BugSplat" and I have a response to a possible conflict. I deactivated the box "USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION" The "BugSplat" disappeared. the problem may be in the Hardware or drivers. If someone helped this track, just ask. Bye, greetings to all In Spanish/en Español A mi me parece el "BugSplat" aun que sólo cuando se cierra el programa. En un momento desactive la casilla "USAR ACELERADOR DE HARDWARE" y el "BugSplat" desapareció. asi que puede ser problema de compatibilidad del Hardware o de los drivers. ... Si alguien le ayuda esta pista no dude en preguntar cualquier otra cosa. Saludos a todos.

Valerostudio, Great help (even with the limited info I provided). Bought the referenced HDRI image. Adjusted the gamma, camera, and intensity.......NICE Shadows! Thanks for the help! NH

Contact Chaos Group for starters. Also, try to uninstall completely - this includes deleting any ASGVIS folders in your ProgramData folder.

Sephiro - nothing as yet, will let you know when I know more

Try here http://www.hdri-hub.com/ great HDRI files and they sponsor SketchUcation.

The issue has been resolved and will be in the next release.

@nervehead said: I'm fairly new, but are you adjusting the the number next to the GI? Sometimes I have that problem. I usually go into my Map setting under the GI, and turn the intensity of the sun down from 1.0 to about 0.3. might try that. Hi, Thanx for ur rply. Previously it was with default material. I applied material to it. it is looking nice now. But sun intensity 0.3 looks low. I m attaching image with 0.3 and 1.0 intensity (materials are jst for reference not final). go through it n tell mi ur suggestions. [image: DD4n_Intencity0.3.jpg] [image: hnQ7_Intencity1.0.jpg]

@chon said: ???? Maybe your project is located near Tchernobyl ? Well, i've never seen that... Just a thing : Before playing with time zone in the shadows options, be sure that your project is well geo-located. For exemple, your project is located in London and you set your time zone on +12.00 UTC, if you render your scene at 12.00 (midday), the result will be 12.00 + 12.00 = 24.00 (midnight)... Thanx Chon for ur reply. i will check for the geo-location. And by the way my project is located in India.

Because of the limitations of UVW mapping, you will either need to have a copy of the bump in your diffuse as a reference (just set the opacity to AColor and then set that to white and add your color layer as a 2nd diffuse under that). Or you can play with the UVW scaling in the texture itself.

Thanks, Devin.

@valerostudio said: add light planes at the windows to toss GI in the room. is this tecnique called skyportal or something? i usually let the real vray sun come from the windows, but i read somewere about using rectangle light and using as "skyportal".. once i tried, don't remember exactlyhow, but it was not working for me.. is there some good tutorials around about it? and what's the pros and cons against using regular vraysky for gi?

did you try to check "keep continuity"?

@dkendig said: not as far as I am aware Ok. Thanx

i like rspierenburg's technique, i do it similarly

Thanks guys. Already got my answer with my problem. Its on the curtain material. It takes long time to render.

There is a post about this very thing over on the Chaos forums.

dcauldwell - no, that's not the point of his question... i would also blame the GI settings (either the LC subdivs or the irradiance map sample settings), could you post a screenshot of those two?

I have a similar issue. Tried to install VRay 1.6 on Mac w SU8 - SU crashed on open every time. Uninstalled everything, created a clean install of SU13, no plugins except VRay 1.6. I can create a new model no problem and it works, but when I try to open one of our SU8 models, I get the warning message about saving in SU13 blablabla and then the never ending spinning color wheel. Have to force quit SU and it happens on every model (tried 4 so far - size range from 25-50MB).
