Guys, i don't understand HOW to menage with the problem and are you talking to me? WHERE is the problem? In the file or.. In the program? I can't figure that out. And with the CPU, it's obvious that there is some bug, but that's not enough and that wasn't my question. The quesion is HOW to deal with that so i can finish with the file? To put the IES lights, to finish everything else and to RENDER...

Are we stuck?

Okay. I can see there's some bug. That's nice that you confirmed that. Maybe i'm dumm, but... What now?!

Hi.

I just recorded a short clip that you can see part of my problem. The flick i'm talking about and the lack of rendering. I'm uploading it now. When it's ready i'll post here the link from youtube, so you can all see and try the things.

If it's not clear again.. I can make more clips so you can see the problem from different angles.

Yes. What i'm seeing is definitely NOT how it should look like. The bulb should be set to be emissive layer - double sided. And the rectangular lights should be somehow passing trough the bulb(i don't know how - it should be somehow set to transparent or if that's not possible, the lights to be outside the bulb). Nevermind. That's my last problem. When you have time and you're there.. I would like to see what's happening with couple of the copied IES lights, couple of the rectangular lights and couple of the emissive lights. Try also to copy the spotlight object. (not only the lights and the emissive layer). See ya, later. (bow)

One more thing.. In the chandelier i put rectangular lights that when i touch, the program crashes OR if not and i enter in the v-ray light options of those rectangular lights and i put higher level of intensity or change just something... The v-ray rendering frame is again the same - flick and then nothing. I'm starting to think it's the v-ray version. But can you also try just to boost them? After all that's a light source. Are you using 1.49.01?

I'm seeing now your render and as you can see in the first picture of mine that you've posted... You can see that when the IES light is one it's rendering. I'm really curious you to try putting more (4-5), but ALSO rectangular lights (copy them from the other) and ALSO emmisive lights. I can see also in your render that the sofas are gone. Why? Is there any problem there? I don't want to be insolent, but can you please try to put for real emmisive layer(copy them from whatever you want), but also the IES lights AND the rectangular. Everything is there(in the circle), so it won't take much time. I'm really thankful for what you're doing. I didn't even hoped for something like that. (handshake)

Okay. First about my configuration.

CPU - QuadCore , 4050 MHz (41 x 99)
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 (1280 MB)
RAM Memory - Corsair XMS CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 2x 4 GB DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM

Pff.. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the help!

As far as concerned to the v-ray render. I'll try to explain better. The file i have is not finished (of course). I have downloaded some objects through sketch up and i used them. Most of the things i have made, but not everything. So i'm using some downloaded spotlights. You can see them on the circle and on the part of the wall. I put emmisive light in them so they can look like the source of the light. I also downloaded some photometric IES lights from luthonia and i used them. The PROBLEM!!!

The problem is that i can not finish it. I mean that when i try to copy those spotlights(only the object), the v-ray is not rendering at all. It starts thinking... Then a flick and nothing more. And you can't just roll back the operation and start rendering again. It's just becoming useless and i have to close the file without saving it and then to open it again. When i do that it's rendering, but if i touch something - the spotlights OR if i put more IES lights OR if i put rectangular light... No matter what i'm doing - it's not rendering.

... You should try couple of different variations so you can perfectly understand what i mean. That's it for now. I'll upload the file, including also the IES light i would like to use(of course - you can switch it with other/ i've already tried that thou) and some jpeg screenshots of what i'm trying to do.

THANK YOU a LOT!!! (bow)

P.S. I couldn't upload it here. That's a link for download the file, the IES lights and some renders with explainations.

I thought they might be, yeah. I deleted the layer and i tried to to other stuff. Like to copy a different object or something like that, but after 1-2 steps - again - just flick without render. I tried also to render some of the spotlights and they're fine. But when i copy more of them (because of course they can't be for example 10 spotlight in the whole bar)... Then again it's not rendering. Can i send you the file so you can take a look those days. (when you have time) It would be great, great help.
