Hi changeplaces66, I am also new and am having the same problem. Did you find a solution? I just read in the documentation for animator: "...Animator is designed to support rendering for Animations (films, clips and sequences). Rendering software current supported are: VRay, v3.40.04 but NOT Vray 3.6: From Animator..." Do we think animator only supports version Vray v3.4?

After a day of messing about I found the problem, I'll give an update just in case it helps anyone. My security and software I use to manage all my workplace machines has an auto container feature - so if it doesnt trust software one of my staff is running it will run it in a container to stop it infecting anything. Turns out it didn't like this version of Vray. It usually opens windows with a green boarder around them to signify its doing it. There must be some glitch with SU opening up in a floating window which means it just wont open.

I think that was because my UTC setting somehow brought a very weird effect which was quite dark. I changed it to UTC-7 then it's working ok, still not ideal for the interior yet but a lot better for the exterior.

I am using High Sierra and the last (I think) MBP that had an nVidia card. It seems to me that High Sierra is the last MacOS for which you can get an nVidia web driver and CUDA version. And people have kindly posted all the versions on line. Whether this will work for eGPU is something I'd like to know. I think it is working because I get to use GPU rendering and Optix denoiser in Thea. (But my system barely makes it). You have to consider what the hardware recommendations are for Vray.

There wasn't any model attached to your post there. Did you forget? Loops will stop at forks, where there is too many possible paths to be able to determine where it should go.

Make a blend material with stucco as base and dirt material over top, set dirt to 'multiply' (blend or comptex...ahh, here it is------> https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VNFS/Mix+Operator

thanks, seems like there might be something there to get me going. Found the same file for vray sketchup which is what I'm using. Will update results.

As you use Transmutr, you can export then directly as V-Ray proxies: https://help.transmutr.com/manual/geometry-tab/proxies I don't think it's a problem with transmurt.... the proxy are working but I cannot load more than 2 on a sketchup file after when I drag them from the library to the file nothing is happening GD3Design is not a rendering problem I just cannot load the geometry on the file

Hi pcmoor, Thanks so much - you lifesaver! I'm new to the OnClick function as well as the Animator extension, but I've had a look at these files you kindly put together & it all makes sense I think - I can unpack this & apply it as I need to. Thanks a lot! Sorry to be a pain, but do you know if a similar function can be applied using the Animator extension from Fredo6? I've been tasked with two things essentially, and you've pretty much solved the second one, and with any luck you can help with the first as well? Firstly to create a more detailed animation of how a generic example of the system would work, ideally with camera sweeps & parts moving of their own accord rather than being clicked, to form an example video of how the system works Secondly to mirror the other dynamic components that I've put together to automatically create the other products in our range (for which this OnClick solution is perfect!) Thanks a lot for your help - it's really appreciated!

@nlipovac said: Hi Richard, what do you use for rendering? Hi there. I'm using VRay.

Great suggestion to make it progressively appear. There are a few other complicated ways to simulate this, but thank you for confirming it's not a feature I wasn't seeing! Cheers!

What do i do!?! Can you try Animator v2.6a. I normally fixed the problem.
