I believe it is due to the fact that the trial of Vray only allows 2 lighting elements in a scene.

hmmmm... .ok, I found a leftover proxy that had one of the cars in it as part. I thought I'd deleted all the cars in a test to see if I could get rid of all the ghost cars. no luck till I found this proxy and deleted it. Now they're gone. I guess I should learn more about proxies. I think I'm ok now, though now quite understanding why. I will read up. thx. Greg

My suggestion is to not use displacement on brick. You really want to reserve displacement for things that are close to camera have a lot of 3D relief and detail (stonework, etc.) Bricks can be rendered much faster with a bump or normal map. Try plugging your diffuse map into this website and create a normal map, put that in your bump slot. http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/

It is too hot here, ı made this test to feel something cold..

Yes. Instances inheriting animation would be awesome. Can it be toggled on/off?

If you want to to this all in render, you need a sinmple plane as a base and you have to apply a Wrapper material to it. Search youtube for a tutorial, you'll find plenty

So, no one's interested in helping me?! really?! I thought this was a helpful comunity...

bump... anyone?

Seems the "camera around" tool is not included in the latest version of the extension. I deleted all the cameras I added and started over. Not sure what I'd done wrong, but now the transitions from scene to scene are not erratic.

Could you please show some settings and a test render? That would help solving your problem much quicker. Could you render with a domelight instead of the sun? Regards,

@valerostudio said: I have had this same issue in the past. Make sure there are no characters in your file name at all, even the folders. We had an "&" in our project name that VR did not like that at all. Now I also render all finals into a folder on my desktop to shorten any issues with folder structure as well. Thank you for your reply. Good to get this tips about bugs discovered by experience! About the Vray Frame Buffer I still think it is a bit rigid and something as useful as recovering a past file rendered in it should be possible. It is quite easy to loose work with how it works... I am curious, is there something in the 3ds max Frame Buffer that Vray could still learn from?

@penumbra said: excellent, many thanks. You're welcome! @unknownuser said: Why have the refraction layer at all? For many render engines - "architectural glass" or "thin glass" gives you the same look when at the scale of a building, there is effectively no refraction. It's such a small volume of glass that it doesn't matter if you have refraction calculated or not.

SOLO Re paths Looks like behavior states are selected not a per-defined path. Hmmmm? dtr
