  • Animation of construction history can make no object in V-Ray.

    Hello! I am trying to animate a pair of pipes in my scene by extruding a circle by the path with partial curve range to animate extruding of my pipe. In Maya all works and looks perfect but in V-Ray object (pipe) not appears. My animation of pipe starts at frame 80 and render of animation starts at frame 1. When I start render from frame 81 all works perfect in V-Ray and my pipe start extrusion by path. I think the deal is in this thing: when I animate my subCurve max value from 0 to 1 in first frames object have no geometry itself and for Maya it is fine but looks like V-Ray not loads this object (if I starting render in range 0-80). When I starting render in frame 81 object already partially appeared and V-Ray renders it correctly.

    I found next method to resolve this problem:
    Start animation not with "0" max value subCurve parameter but "0.001". It is not good method in some cases because this tiny object still visible in 0-80 range and I need to add animation of visibility attribute than.

    Any another ideas?

    V-Ray 1.50 SP1 and Maya 2011. Hidden geometry in V-Ray General options is "Auto".

    Can you post a simple scene here or send it to vraymaya@chaosgroup.com so that we can debug it?

      Yep. I created a simple scene to demonstrate this problem. I can't attach it to this post directly but I sended the scene to your e-mail or you can download it here:

      I hope it will help because V-Ray is the best render I ever seen.

        Thanks, I can reproduce the issue and we will be looking into it.

          Hello again! I found another construction history bug that crashes Maya. Sometimes this bug also says that "Render completet" after a few frames of render. I deleted all other objects and cleaned the scene to make it smallest in size and I wish to send it to you too to fix that bug. Mr. Vlado can you reproduce this issue too? Problem is in my personal situation because that huge project with the pipes delayed about two days and I wish to solve that problem but can't find an option to evade this bug. Now I trying to render it but Maya falls down every 2-3 frames and I need to make another and another tries with adding frames to start of the sequence to get my project rendered tomorrow. I can theoreticaly render stills without batch render and Maya renders fine in this mode but I have 0.5 frame step to get fields and I don't know how can I render frame #365.5. So here is the scene, maybe you or someone else can give me an option to prodice my growing pipes with safe method (not linked with construction history). The problem part of the scene is here: http://files.mail.ru/OAIUUU and also I sended it to your e-mail as yesterday. Thanks a lot for any help you can give!

          With regards, AndyGandy.

            Yes, I noticed this problem too; it will be fixed as well. It has more to do with the NURBS rather than the construction history as such. It should work better if you convert the NURBS to polygons.
