      I have SU 2015

      I have VRAY 2 with RT.

      I also have VRAY Express.

      When ever I try to use RT it gets so far as stating 'preparing global light manager' but the render screen remains black.

      I do a normal render and everything appears and is in order.

      I set the view widow real small as well to 400 x 300

      What settings am I missing?

      Win 7
      64 Bit
      SU 2015
      RAM 16 GB
      Intel COre i7 processor CPU 2.30 GHz
      GeForce GT 650M graphics card

      Thanks

        What do you have your RT settings set to?

          The RT Engine settings are:

          Enable - ticked
          Use Gi - ticked
          Reflect Caustics - unticked
          RT Mode - RT CPU
          AA threshold - 0.001
          Show AA mask - unticked
          Stop when render done - unticked
          Performance
          Ray Bundle size - 16
          TRace Depth - 5
          GI Depth - 3
          Refract Caustics - ticked
          OpenCL Texture Size - 512
          Max render time - 0.0
          Maximum sample level - 0
          Rays per Pixel - 4

          Does that help!? πŸ˜„

            only use RT CPU. At this point GPU render is not supported.

              ...okay, still a black frame buffer screen.

              Any other ideas?

                probably need to go back to default settings and update camera, environment, etc. settings. There may be a bug that once you select other than RT CPU, the vray settings get messed up.
