DR does not see xref

[Morbid Angel]

Not sure if this is to come in next builds but thought i'd mention in:
when object is xrefed into a scene then rendered with dr, dr nodes dont see it
and yes everything is networked and etc.

That is a limitation of DR that has been noted before. I have run into it to and it's a drag. I gave up on DR a few months ago. Not much DR can do that backburner can't. Much more predictable too. Hope that changes in the future.

indeed, stability of dr is also conserns me. hanging nodes, waiting nodes...god knows what else..

ya I must say DR is wearing thin on me too. I almost never use it anymore and when I do, I end up calculating the irrad locally on my machine first anyways.

We also use the Xref Scene Feature quite a bit in our animations as well as high res stills. It always creates a problem that DR will not pick up Xref's. We are also starting to use light cache more often, and DR won't do that either. Has anyone heard of any plans to address this in the future?

[Morbid Angel]

i can imagine its in the works

A bit of an old topic (but better than starting a new thread). Will future versions of Vray allow DR to work with Xrefs? It would be most useful. At the moment I have to temporarily bind the scene to do a successful DR.
