  • Rendered elements files are deleted

    I noticed something funny. Vray deletes renderer elements files if you're not careful.

    Here's how it goes:

    1. I render my scene (no VFB - dunno if it matters). "Save file" enabled. Elements enabled. Files are saved as the render ends, with the typical filename_VRayGlobalIllumination.tga type naming.

    2. I want to render something else in the same scene, but I don't want to save the file, and I don't want to use elements. I switch off "save file" and I disable all elements (in the "Elements active" checkbox).

    3. When the render finishes, no new files are created - but all my element-files from the previous render are automatically deleted! No warnings, no nothing.


    It won't happen if you change the original filename - even if the "save file" is unchecked.


    I'd be glad if you could fix this. It's a bit annoying if you forget the workaround.

    Strange, it doesn't happen here. No files are deleted when render ends.

    Is it possible that you have a pre-render script to delete the previous rendered elements? Are you using some kind of scripting tool to launch you renders?

      Heh weird. Well, I use no scripts or anything. I use Max Design 2010 SP1 x64 and Vray 1.50. SP4.
