Hi changeplaces66,

I am also new and am having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

I just read in the documentation for animator:

"...Animator is designed to support rendering for Animations (films, clips and sequences). Rendering software current supported are:

VRay, v3.40.04 but NOT Vray 3.6: From Animator..."

Do we think animator only supports version Vray v3.4?
