Animator not rendering the sky with Vray after crash
-
Animator does not interact with the rendering settings of VRay. So, the problem might be in the VRay API. As you had a crash, it might be that some hidden processes are alive.
So, I will suggest that you reboot the computer and try again.

Dear Fredo,
thanks for your reply.
Actually, I did restart my machine, but the issue persist this morning.
Any other idea ?
All the best,
Olivier

What happens if you create a new animation from scratch and render it?
-
The problem remain...
-
Hi Fredo,
I still haven't found a fix to the problem... I'm getting
Is the setting of the sky in vray correct ? Should I try to re-install vray ? Could I send you the files so that you could do a test on your machine ?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

If you do a Natural render, do you get the sky displayed?
-
Thanks again for your help Fredo...
Yes I do... so strange...
here is a comparison of natural vs vray render through animator...
but within vray alone, everything works...
-
Hi Fredo,
I'm desperate... Do you think that a reinstall of Vray would change something ? Any other idea ?
Best,
Olivier
-
This may be an idea. On my side, I am short of clues to understand how Animator could prevent things to happen (or not) in VRay....
-
Thanks...
That's why I'm desperate,
What other renderer would you use ?I'll keep you posted for the re-install.
-
You might try Twilight Render. I have used it with Animator and never had any problems.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the tip ! I'll give it a try with the hobby version... Are you aware of any limitation with this one ?
All the best,
Olivier

Dear Fredo,
I also tried with a prior version to the crash and the problem persits. So it's not due to some file corruption of some sort.
I uninstalled Vray and re-installed it, and the problems remains as it is:
It is so strange. Should I also try to uninstall/install Animator ?
thanks again for your support.

Not really. I have used it many times with Animator. They also have several tutorials and a good support team.
Let’em know I recommended them.

Dave, hi again !
I've installed Twilight 2 in Sketchup. Rendering seems fine with the render engine from the software itself, but I can't see it in the Generation of Video in Animator.
Any way to fix this ?
Thanks again,
Olivier

I am having problems with my laptop so I cannot currently explore this for you, but Twilight Render should show up in the Generate Video toolbar. It has always been there for me. It has been quite a while so I cannot remember how to add it.
I would suggest you post in the Animator thread. Fredo is always pretty good at responding. You might also post the question in the Twilight Render forum.
Sorry I cannot run it to help you.

Any resolution to your issue?

I don't think you need to uninstall Animator (the video management is in LibFredo6 anyway).
Likewise, if this happens with any model, I don't think this is useful to send me the model.
There must be a setting left in VRay which is used by the VRay API. So, I would recommend you post to the VRay forum, asking whether the API has a separate configuration versus the direct rendering within VRay.

Why isn’t Twilight Render showing up for him in Animator?
-
Dear Dave,
Sorry for my silence, unfortunately no resolution yet. I'll try the vray forum as mentioned by fredo6 and will keep you both posted !
Thanks,
Olivier
