VRay Rendering Help Needed

[phorest]

I have a problem when rendering an animation done with a number of scenes.
My animation is basically a concrete slab and beams with the reinforcement bars in them.
The animation basically starts off with only 1 group unhidden, then in the 2nd scene a 2nd group is also unhidden, 3rd scene - 3rd group is also unhidden etc until at the final scene all 20 groups are unhidden showing the final structure.
When i view the animation on sketchup it works perfectly, but when i render it with vray, it goes through all the scenes with just the first group unhidden, keeping all the other groups hidden for the entire animation, which is very frustrating seeing as it takes so long to render. Any ideas on what the problem is?

The problem is that V-Ray only recognizes the geometry as it is in the very first scene. Hidden geometry, layer visibility, and Face-Me component's direction in the following scenes are ignored.
The animation is basically limited to camera position.

Check out the ASGVis forum for more info on V-Ray animation. I've never really given it a go. You might find some useful info there.
