vraylog.txt :: 15gig!

[sv]

Just found out my vraylog.txt was 15 gig. Was using vray on a laptop with 60gig hard drive, so you can imagine what i need to do to this file!

This is a problem others have seen as well. I stumbled accross it in one of my scenes. In my case, it was because of using 2D displacement on a poorly formed object. Looking at the vray log (cancelling a render as soon as the log started growing fast in size) I found it to be because of the same error being written over and over. In my case, it turned out to be the 2D displacement I was using.

Hope that helps.

It does help, i think the problem comes from the fact that during this current project we are doing, one scene produces an extreme amount of warnings - not errors, but "invalid texture co-ordinates" or something. It renders fine, but produces something in the region of three quarters of a million warnings! Very complicated internal office scene - a lot of geometry, renders at 750 pixels in about 3 - 5 hours.

I think the warnings were causes by omni lights, rather than vray lights, because when i hid them; no warnings - any ideas?

You might try cleaning the mesh by deleting any isolated vertices and zero polys. Also make sure that all geometry has some UVW's . Finally You can disable the log file by clearing the edit box with its name in the VRay System rollout.

just beat my own record by checking one of the render nodes - 27 gig vraylog.txt file!

33gigs! With Xfrog trees.... the render node kept showing low diskspace errors before I remembered this thread and checked the log file....
