Fire illumination issue

[DanA]

Hello!

I created a fire sim in Max 2021 with Phoenix 4 for vray Next and it was rendering fine. I've updated to Vray5 along with Phoenix for Vray 5 and I'm getting patches that aren't illuminating. As far as I'm aware nothing else has changed, any ideas?

Hey,

I think this might be a V-Ray regression introduced in V-Ray 5 update 1. Can you try the previous official V-Ray 5 - hotfix 2 instead?

Cheers!

Hi Svetlin,

Thanks so much, that has fixed it! Was this happening because it was created in vray 4? Am I best just sticking with this hotfix 2 version for now?

Cheers,
Dan

Nono, it's not related to using an older V-Ray.

When we have a fix, it will appear in the V-Ray 5.1 stable nightlies here: https://nightlies.chaosgroup.com/mai...ble/stable_5.1

I will let you know when you can grab a build from this folder, so you can use the new cool things in V-Ray 5.1
