      What happens if you create a new animation from scratch and render it?

          Hi Fredo,

          I still haven't found a fix to the problem... I'm getting πŸ˜• πŸ˜• πŸ˜•

          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, πŸ˜‰ 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. πŸ˜„

                        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:

                          Vray only on the left, animator and Vray on the right

                          It is so strange. Should I also try to uninstall/install Animator ?

                          thanks again for your support.

                          Olivier

                            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. πŸ˜„

                              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.

                              twilight missing.JPG

                              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.

                                    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?

                                        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,
