posssible bug BB and V-ray lights

[voltron7]

(Almost) latest stable build (from 2013/07/13) seems to have an issue with BB.

In job submission dialog, there is a pulldown list to select the camera.
Now it also shows any v-ray lights as well as scene cameras and you may accidentally pick one.
Then the job will fail reporting "AutoDesk 3dsMax 15.6 reported error: Camer VRayLight004 defined but not found."

Obviously the job fails...Avoidable, but seems like new behavior?
Not sure if it is Max2013 or V-ray 2.4.

Thanks

Hi,

Haven't seen such an option in the Backburner submission window. Probably there is a newer version.
However, would it be possible to upload a screenshot of your BB submission settings?

Being able to look through V-Ray lights was a feature requested by customers, so it's not going away. The fact that backburner fails is a different matter. Does it fail for standard lights (direct/spot)?

Best regards,

Feature is nice IMO. Just checking to see if I was imagining this, it's not a real issue as long as I don't accidentally pick a light.
Have not tried this with picking a standard light, but was assuming it would fail, too. Thanks.

Hi,

I got the same error in BB with max directional light : Camera Direct001 defined but not found." with Max 2013.
Tried the same with Max 2014 batch window and there was impossible to select neither V-Ray light nor the native Max light.

Hi Tasho,

Thanks for checking; It is apparently a Max2013/BB problem...
