SP2 Not rendering RPC Properly ?

[natty]

Vlado,

we have just started calculating 16,000 frames for IRR, the first time we tried with rpc people (yeah i know) ... well vray just see's grey planes where the rpc's are and the irr maps are basically F*cked behind the rpc?

So we started again with the rpc's hidden and all is fine, until we unhide the people and some machines renders grey planes some render the people but with some errors on the people like odd lighting ect .. this was never a problem in SP1 but only now in SP2? we have now fixed the problem by reloading the scene and making sure the people can be seen by the main machine, and all the rest also see the people... To stop the F*cked lighting on the people we had to totaly exclude from GI making the people really dark and then increasing the self Ilum.. now this in itself is odd due to the fact the GI has already been calced and we are rendering from a saved map? As said none of this happened in SP1 .. ? can you look into this please.. .

The Archivision guys are aware of this issue and I believe they may have a version of RPC that should render fine. If they cannot provide you with this version, I can patch V-Ray for this, but I do not know when I will be able to do that.

Best regards,

Same here. Also having problems with reflections and shadows

I also have a similar problem with using RPC with Max 2009 and Vray SP2.

Render the scene for the first time and all RPC render as grey rectangles. Render a second time and RPC seem to render fine. Change resolution or re-open scene and the same issue exists. First render RPC are grey , second they render ok. This is obviously very inconvienent and time consuming.

I see in the thread that it is suggested that the RPC need to be fixed. I spoke with a person who represents RPC and he said it was a problem with Vray that needed to be fixed.

Any ideas on how and when this may be fixed?

Thank you
