Vray for VIZ 2006

[arobbert]

Vray doesn't appear to work with VIZ 2006 if you use bitmaps in your textures (Missing Map bug). Everyone that uses VIZ 2006 seems to be using 1.46 build. I don't have this build and Chaos doesn't have it up anymore. I requested it yesterday and have no response. I know they are busy, maybe they should put it up on the site since it is the one to use with VIZ.

They sent the 1.46 build. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks Chaos.

there's a sticky about this issue in the problems section

http://www.chaosgroup.com/forum/phpB...ic.php?t=11640

might be worth a read...

I doubt whether it's valid to say all bitmaps in textures have issues. I haven't come across this problem yet. Been using the Free version for a while and now 1.47.03 on Viz2006 without hassles.

Maybe it's a problem with specific format bitmaps. For example there are more than one type of jpg file. I've had problems with some tga files as well, but it seems to be a Viz problem reading the file and it appears the moment you load the bitmap, not during rendering....

It might help if you happen to get the error to check the type of bitmap and perhaps post it for others to test?

i've not even installed viz2006 yet - i decided to stick with 2005 until the issue was resolved...
unfortunately the only resolution at present seems to be not using the latest beta which i see as taking a step backwards.

i don't think i'm particularly missing anything by not using 2006 anyway...am i?

I don't use the "real world mapping" or the tool palettes, so I don't think there's much that I'm missing.

So it seems I can't use 1.47 with Viz 2006, so I have to use 1.46. For those who are using 1.46 and Viz2006, are you having any problems with it?

Thanks,

Chad

Seems to work ok for me
