Standalone render without Global Illumination

[scorpes]

Hi, we are trying to render vrscenes exported from 3dsmax on our vray (maya) standalone linux farm.
But we cannot find a way to disable Global Illumination with the vrscene exporter within 3dsmax. It always renders with Global Illumination.

Best Regards,

Robbert

Is this on any scene? Which V-Ray version?

Best regards,

We are using 3dsmax 2015 with Vray 3.10.03 and V-Ray Standalone version 3.15.01

Here's a sample of the first lines of our vrscene.
For some reason it does not pick the regular render settings but the RT settings, which I cannot find a option to disable GI:

Make sure that Engine Type is set to CPU from V-Ray RT settings, and GI is off from Vray Adv settings:

V-Ray always uses GI if RT Engine is Cuda or OpenCL, that's why the exported scene is with enabled GI even if it is disabled from V-Ray ADV options.

You can enable/disable GI on already exported vrscenes from the following command:

Thank you, I'm going to try this out!
