VRayEnmeshMod not working

[andy51]

OK So I decided to try out the VRayEnmeshMod

Very simple scene, a plane and a box

I added the VRayEnmeshMod to the plane

I added the smaller box to the Objects list

Ran VRay IPR

and nothing

Looking at the Basic Parameters list

Crop Box size X,Y and Z are empty and also Height% and Height Offset are also empty

Anyone know what it going on here. The scene is as simple as it could be. Max 2018 and Vray 6 Hotfix 2

Hi are you using V-Ray GPU or V-Ray CPU? VRayEnmeshMod is not supported in GPU.

[andy51]

I am using VRay CPU

[vladimir_krastev]

Have you tested in production mode? On my setup everything works fine. I am using 3ds max 2023 and V-Ray 6, hotfix 2.

[andy51]

Weird... If I use IPR mode, I get no result, If I use Production mode it renders a result and if I stop it and continue using IPR I get a result, but that still doesn't explain why the basic parameters for the Crop Box Size X,Y and Z and Height % and Height Offset are empty.. and clicking on the scroll bars, has no effect, they are simply empty

[andy51]

Also entering numbers in the empty boxes, has no effect whatsoever.

Sorry I did not notice that you are using 3ds max 2018. Let me test with 3ds max 2018 and I will let you know how it goes.

[andy51]

ok, thanks. Look forward to hearing what you discover

[vladimir_krastev]

Hi you are right something strange is going on in 3ds max 2018/vray6 and VRayEnmeshMod.



If you select and scale the gizmo manually it will work on my end. But still there are issues with the crop box input dialogs.

[andy51]

Well glad to know it's not just me. Hope you can work out a fix for it soon. No desperate rush though.

Anyway, thanks for looking into it and confirming it's not just me and my setup.

Have a great weekend

The issue is reported under VMAX-12532 in our bug tracking system. It seems to appear only in 3ds max 2018. The issue is not present with V-Ray 6. You could temporarily revert back to it if possible.

Great weekend to you too.

[andy51]

Not sure what you mean by reverting back... I am using V-Ray 6 Hotfix 2. Do you mean reverting back to an earlier release of V-Ray 6 and if so, how would I do that. To be honest though, since I don't currently have a reason to make use of the feature, then maybe it would be easier for me to just wait for a fix to be made. Anyway thanks again

Yes I meant to install the earlier version - https://download.chaos.com/downloads...2018-60004-adv. This is the official release before hotfix 1.
