hey guys. does anyone of you know about a benchmark scene for vrayfsu?

i am wondering since quite some time if it wouldnt be good to have something like this to test. especially for network rendering it would be interesting to see the speed increase on a benchmark.
is this a good idea?

maybe someone could provide a scene for us which will later become "the official vray 4 su benchmark scene"?!?

Maybe this could become sticky?

cheers mo

did i misunderstand something? still looking for a solution here. thanks.

Hey guys, hey thomthom.

Your plugin seems to work very well and i use it since a few years. i have a question though regarding the change of the aspect ratio and connected change of focal lenght.

in the 3 attached images you can see the original scene without aspect ratio scaled but defined by my window dimensions.

see the focal length number down below it says 24mm. if i change the aspect ratio now to 16:9 and display the focal length again you can see it changing to 10mm. It kinda squeezes the original side into the new smaller side and also changes the focal length to an unnatural value.

third image shows what happens if i enter 24mm again.

Is there any formula i can go by to get the "real" focal length? I want to keep using real camera values.

Cheers,

you know what would be awesome?

to be able to fit a component onto a face depending on the textures orientation on that face.

i try to optimize some tree models and they have the leaf texture aplied. the leaves are a flat plane though. i would like to fit a component with more complex geometry on it that would replace the leaves with actual geometry. problem is if i use your plugin the orientation is totaly different on each plane. would it be possible to use the texture coordinates to arrange a component on it? the texture would need to be somewhat the same size.

see all the images attached. i marked where the leaf stem would need to go.

this would be so useful to me and i'm sure some other archviz guys.

cheers and thanks for your hard work. i already have your slice plugin and its amazing!

wonderful. very useful for real architecture models where you would rebuild your 3d building into cardboards. what would be nice though is a tool to automatically create 2 of the boards sitting inside the other when using the tool last shown in the video.

cheers,
shut up and take my money

mo

could you guys solve this? having the same problem here.

cheers,
mo

this really is amazing. i tried some more and i can say bravo. shut up and take my money. seriously though where can i buy and when will the trial expire?

i have a huge model and trying to slice it in one piece makes su crash. but taking larger groups by groups its working amazingly well. thanks soooo much. all the best.

hi

trying this with a fairly complex model where zorro always fails. will report back.

its really awesome and promising. tried it out in a small file with a few components inside groups and other components - a lot of nesting - and it works fine.

thx so far.
mo

seems it has to do with groups having materials applied to them. when i give the default material to the group and paint the faces individually it seems to work.

hi guys,

when i reload a placed file and i have changed any material in that file it adds that changed material as a new material and wont apply it to the file. maybe this is due to the use of vray? so i have to delete the placed file, purge and replace it again. very tedious... any ideas?

cheers,
mo
