Vray demo - presets not loading at all.

[TwiiK]

Hi there.

I recently downloaded and installed the V-Ray Demo 1.50.17. I thought it was great until I realized all your settings vanish whenver you save your file. Then someone told me that you can save your settings as a preset before you save and load them in again after.

I can save the presets just fine. I go to the preset dialog, write in a name and select what settings I want to save and press save. A file "vray.cfg" gets made and it contains my saved settings so everything is working there.

But when I press load nothing at all happens. No feedback whatsoever.

I'm not trying to avoid buying Vray, but it would just be nicer to be able to test it on a more complex scene and not just quick test scenes I don't care whether I save or not.

According to someone I asked they can save and load presets just fine with the demo. Do they have an older version of the demo and this has been disabled in a newer version or is it something on my side that's broken?

Thanks in advance.

Settings take about 5 minutes to setup from memory anyway - you could always just screenshot them or write them down.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing.

I hit load and let it sit there for 30 minutes and still nothing. How can it even take more than 0,1 sec? It's just loading in a small .cfg-file.

But if you say it take that long then I won't bother with it. I'll just try and avoid saving too often, kind of goes against everything I've been thought, but ohh well.

If it's going to work, it's pretty much instant.

Does it reset the settings after every save or just when you quiet and re-load?

I think the loading of presets is disabled in the demo version. Will try to get this updated for the SP2 demo.

Best regards,

Presets don't load with official SP2 either. I can check that vray.cfg has all settings but loading just don't load the settings.

If I remember correctly there was some years ago a bug handling different decimal symbols. In Europe many countries use "," instead of ".".

And I tested this and this is a bug still in SP2. If you set system decimal symbol to "." it will work but not if it is ",".
