Dreamscape 2.1 + Vray

[panda80]

Hi,
this days I'm using dreamscape 2.1 for the background and skylights, but when I try to set any kind of Vray material, 3d max doesn't render anything.
Why?
when i open the material editor vray shows that message:

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Updating atmosphere effects:
Last marker is at renderlight.cpp, line 182: Vrenderlight::update()

Please send the file ecc... ecc....

I get the same error and its Dreamscape's sun that's the culprit. What you can do as a workaround is switch to Default Scanline Renderer when you go into the material editor and use the dreamscapes preview to see that everything is working fine. It will work unless you switch to VRAY renderer AND open the material editor. After that VRAY won't render anything...

Anybody lese have trouble with DreamScape 2.1 and GI?

I know the problem is in Dreamscape, because it flatly tells me that there was an assertion failure in RapidRay.cpp at line 345. RapidRay.cpp is a part of DreamScape. I get the same error with all the engines, even finalRender Stage-1. When GI is off, there is no problem with any of the engines. Beau, over at TurboSquid, tells me he can't reproduce the error.
