Wierd light leak that I can't figure out

[Dynedain]

try this script

do()
on.Procedure
Begin
Convert >all.Obj GetNumsubs ()
to
Maxwell;

init.Render;
end()

By using that script, wouldn't you also have to use this script?

if HellFreezesOver=1 then print "render complete"
else print "please wait"

[Dynedain]

Would you also have to use this script?

if HellFreezesOver=1 then print "render complete"
else print "please wait"

your syntax is wrong, it should be:

if HellFreezesOver() = true {
   if rand(1,100) = 50 {
      echo "Render complete";
      end;
   } else {
      echo "Please wait";
   }
} else {
   echo "Please wait";
}

Ok, I just remembered why I can't set the secondary ray bias to 0 in this scene. Speedtree.

So, are there any other suggestions for work arounds (besides seperate passes and comping since I can't get that to work right)

[Morbid Angel]

why cant you get passes to work? its a different pipeline then straight rendering. We for example dont use vray g-buffer for our pass rendering. All shadows are rendered with vrayMatte mtl override. Then all objects are rendered on same layer just reflection/specs/gi etc are rendered on separatly then comped back.
As for ray bias. my friend explained to me that this is an anti artifact fix.
Yesterday I had to bake some gi on the model, when I tried baking vray gave me an error "ray bias set to 0.0 arti; arti;arti;arti;arti;arti;arti;arti;arti;arti; artifacting is possible."

when i rendered my image the whole picture was messed up (texturebake) so I set the ray bias to 0.1 and it worked. However my shadow in the normal render bacame messed up.
Try maybe setting ray bias to 0.001?
Dont know what else to say.

My problem with passes is that I can't seem to get a shadow layer working properly, and besides that, reflections become an issue (IE seeing the reflection of a building in a puddle of water around a particle fountain and seeing the fountain as well)

[Morbid Angel]

- shadows:
global override material - vray mtl wrapper (with a standart mat inside)
Matte sruface (check) Alpha contribustion -1
Shadows check
Affect alpha check

thats it
alpha contribution with - 1 will cutout everything but the shadow

reflections....well we comp that with sceen or additive...
