Hi Vlado, you are probably sick of this question by now, but I assume this will move over to Maya as well?

[vlado]

Hopefully

Hi Vlado,
Has anyone of you guys tried the latest Embree build (1.1)? Just wondering if there's more to squeeze out from the initial compile with 1.0...?

1.1 Beta Release (August 2012)

"
What's New in Embree 1.1 beta?
Embree 1.1 beta offers new acceleration structures with significantly lower memory consumption: up to 2x during rendering and up to 3x during construction. In addition, the new builders are up to twice as fast as the previous version. To better support movie production rendering, Embree 1.1 beta adds a new acceleration structure for scenes with motion blur, support for very large models, and improved ray/triangle intersection accuracy. "

I wonder if there is any update for V_Maya?

Not yet, but we'll get to that; motion blur support is definitely very good news, but we have to test its performance.

Best regards,
Vlado

I have just been playing about with this and I get: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: preparing ray server. Last marker is at ./src/vrayrenderer.cpp, line2221reparing ray server. I am using V-Ray Build 2.30.01. Using a very simple scene. My processor is a Dual Xeon E5320 so its pretty dated, I wondered if that would be the issue?

[vlado]

Do you get this on every scene?

Best regards,
Vlado

[Guest]

Yep, tried 4 or 5 scenes each with different lights, materials etc. Also tried just creating a sphere and hitting render, same error appears.

[vlado]

Ok, next question: which version of 3ds Max?

Best regards,
Vlado
