Fredo6 Animator Can't Render w/ Vray

Floedekage

Hi,

I've played with Fredo6 Animator some time ago and just got back to it. I had never gotten around to setting up a scene and trying to render it with Vray, so I've played around with it the past week.

It seems I can't get it ro render using Vray -- not even a test image.
The Ruby Console feedback is as follows:

Test Image w/ Vray

What am I doing wrong? I've tried following some other posts and delete appdata/LibFredo folder, repairing sketchup etc.

Which version of VRay do you have installed?

It seems to be a v4.x, but there is something wrong.

Hi Fredo6, I've got Vray version 3.40.02 installed. Thanks for the quick response.

I think Animator only supports VRay 4.2 and above.

Alright. I've been afraid of updating Vray ever since I set it up exactly as I needed it some years ago. Of course it worked perfectly after updating. Thanks for the help Fredo and I'm sorry if this was written somewhere and I've just completely overlooked it.
