Vray 1.5 Final????

[dlparisi]

Can someone on Max 9 and not on 1.5 Final please confirm this because now I can't remember if I am imagining it...

It appears that with the new tabbed render scene dialog the status of the whole dialog box gets saved when you close it and when you press the Render Scene dialog button or F10 the menu pops back to the same tab it was on before! I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, it used to revert back to the "Common" tab and you'd have to constantly tab over to the "Vray" tab, very annoying! It's a small improvement or tweak but it'll save a lot of frustration.

You're correct. The common tab does come up every new time the render dialog is opened. That's a nice feature, less mouse clicking.

I don't want to be the first, but.....................I've found a bug!

I make a daylight system, turn the light type to vray sun, ok to sky dialogue, then right click the sun to go to properties and I get a script listener dialogue, with Macroscript error; "--Unknown property: "globalIlluminationByLayer"in undifined"

Anyone?

The real value for money in vray comes from these forums, IMO

i love you guys

How annoying! Ive just tried it again and it is still erroring. And its doing it on another machine too. Im using Max 8, not 9.

Could you explain in more detail WHAT you are doing ? WICH properties are you trying to change ? I tried vray properties and object properties and it worked flawlessly

Sorry I should have been more specific.

The error happens as soon as I right click on the sun object, after setting it to vray sun. Why I am right clicking is irrelevant.

So its a new scene, make a daylight system, set to vray sun, right click on it, and boom! I then have to close the error dialogue that appears, and avoid right clicking on the sun!

What Max version is that ? As that works just fine here (x32 R9 P1)

[m_hinks]

as I said above, max 8 sp3. Its a tad annoying!

[zeronove]

It seems working fine here; viz 2008+vray 1.5+xp64

Yeah cerfainly the few (many) times I had talked about the vray mesh lights I only said that they were being worked on for a future release.

thought i would raise i few replies by my post here....did not mean to be greedy ...surely the people who were not allowed to use rcs above rc3 will get a massive upgrade....and whats more...for free ...even if it could be as paid upgrade....

...whats more... i feel that everyone as we post here, would be happy to pay for 1.5 final!!
