unable to export and send the current scene as static vrscene to vantage

[eric_barbaron]

Hi chaos team,
since a few days, i m not able anymore to export and send the current scene as static vrscene to vantage, i get this message:

--runtime error: NET runtime exception: the remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Even if i export and send the current animation range as a vrscene to vantage.

The only working option is the first one:

initialize a liv-link to vantage.

What's wrong?
I dont think i changed any settings .

Thx a lot or your help

This error should be seen when the file path sent to Vantage is not a valid file (e.g. does not exist or is a directory). Is there anything unusual in the path you use to export the scene, like a network path, mapped drive, unusual characters, etc.? Try exporting to some simple path like C:/export/scene.vrscene and see it it makes a difference.

Hi, thx for your reply,

unfortunately, i didnt change anything.

Is there a way to verify?

From what I can see V-Ray for 3ds Max exports a .vrscene file with the same path and name as the .max file, simply using the 'vrscene' extension. For example C:/Projects/something.max would export to C:/Projects/something.vrscene. Check the path and name of your max file.

I did it. but i dont know how to modify the vrscene path folder

i just always get the same message

here is the screen of the result

It looks like the only way to export to a different location is to move your .max file there. The vrscene will be exported where the .max file is.

From this screenshot I can see that there is a special character in the word "CHAIKANA" in the file name. Try naming the file with Latin characters only. Make sure you do this for all the folders in the path too. Vantage should work with any characters (we use UTF-, but maybe the maxscript that sends the filename to Vantage doesn't use UTF-8 and this breaks it.
