V-ray rendering problem

If you convert the light group to a component, it will prevent the scene from rendering. We see that happen a lot, people want to have instances of the same light so they just convert the group, thinking everything will be fine. In order to have that functionality though, you need to place the light group inside of a component, rather than converting the group to a component.
Feature request for the nexy Version? It is an intuitive thing to convert to Component.

wow. i did that mistake no wonder it wont render. making component perhaps alter the data of the light..thx man for waking me up

That's odd, I find I've never run into that problem. I usually have some kind of light fixture model and I make my vray light part of that component. I could see this option being useful for an area light (but I usually draw a line with my area light to tell me which direction it's shining...) Hmm, I wonder why changing to a component messes it up.
-
we didn't want our lights to clutter up the component definitions, so we use groups. When we go to look for lights in the scene, we don't check any components, we only check groups. You can put the light group in the component, that's fine. You can not convert it to a component directly though, or we will not know what to do with it.

Yes, directly converting vray light to component will cause problem, I often just create a tiny line or a point (often the center point) with the vray light before i make them component. Once an instance then it can be grouped and converted to other components. Often, I experience a crash or not being able to start a render if I use maps larger than 1 MB, be it diffuse, reflection, opacity or most especially displacement maps. Other days, there are just problematic geometry that will cause the problem.Detecting which one is a pain especially for a large model. Most likely its from imported blocks.

Hello everyone,,,I'm having a strange problem while rendering in sketchup. I m using Vray 1.48.49 and sketchup pro 8. I used .vismat materials for the scenes and vray used to render well(m not a professional but good enough for me) but it doesnt do so anymore. I searched the forum for help and did some techniques like purging unused materails in the editor and turning off .vri in the options. but it ddnt work....if anyone can help
-
I looks like something odd has been checked in your Frame Buffer that is changing the colors. I can't quite think of exactly which setting it would be. In any case, 1.48.49 is VERY dated and had numerous problems, you should definitely be looking at Vray 2.0

Tnx for the response Rob...but is it really about Vray version or something else i mean materials or any settings in the vray options????
-
are you loading any saved GI maps?
-
No..not loading any GI maps...but vray 2.0 worked for me....i guess older version ddnt support the materials well......anyways tnx evrybody for the responses...
