MULTIPLE VRAYS

[sv]

JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF VRAY INSTALLED ON YOUR MACHIENE IE. 1.09 + 1.45 FOR THE SAKE OF PREVIOUS FILES THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED THAT I MAY WANT TO RE RENDER PARTS OF ? JUST WONDERED IF ANY OF YOU GUYS WHERE RUNNING THIS TO OVERCOME THE SAME PROBLEMS. WOULD TRY IT BUT DON'T WANT IT TO MESS THINGS AROUND - WORKING TO A TIGHT DEADLINE !!!!!!

THANKS IN ANTIPATION................

YES, BUT YOU NEED TO COPY YOUR MAX DIR SO THAT YOU HAVE TWO MAX INSTALLATIONS, THEN YOU CAN INSTALL A DIFFERENT VRAY IN EACH

oh, and don't shout, it's annoying.

DLL VRender6.0.dlr failed to initialize

When I duplicate the MAX dir
And install vray bata

go to launch max and I get

DLL VRender6.0.dlr failed to initialize
Error code 127 - the specified procedure could no be found


Any suggestions.?

Open plugin.ini in your new max dir and update the paths so that they are correct for the new max copy.

I dont know if this is possible, but with Archtectural Desktop you are able to make a shortcut with different properties in the shortcut path. Is it possible to have max load a different ini file using 2 different shortcuts? This way one ini can have the path of the plugins that has vray 1.09, and another with 1.45? This way you dont have to copy the max directory.

VRay installs several files to the max root, so you can't do it that way. It works for other renderer plug-ins though. Not sure why VRay need to be installed at the max root.

I've just copied the Max 7 folder (now called '3dsmax7beta') and replaced all the references to '3dsmax7' with '3dsmax7beta' in both the 3dsmax.ini and plugin.ini

When I launch this new version, I get lots of Loading Plugins warnings - I think they are all duplicate plug-in path warnings.

Am I doing something wrong?

How can I make this work with netrendering using backburner?

I doubt that you can
