V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Dear Anderyme!

I have downloaded freshest build and script(it was originally downloaded yesterday but from http, not git) but still can't export scene and the material preview doesn't show anything. Do you have any idea what can be the problems? I really want to try 2.5 with vray
Thanks

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

nieghel, error is the same?

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Yes... plus material preview doesn't show anything. What the hell....

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

@nieghel, I notice a strange path on your screenshot (C:\bla-bla\Blender-2.5-A\2.53\bla\bla) so I guess you are not using my build or install it with usage of scripts from another blender build. Try to remove all builds and install only my. Or just try to reinstall my build.

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Hi,
I'm really impressed with new features and I'd really like to try them out

Old exporter (18 Apr 2010) with 5.52 worked ok.
I installed 2.53 with new script version and it gave error.
I updated v-ray to last available 2011 demo and installed a special build from http://github.com/bdancer/vb25/downloads.
Again - old script with 2.52 works, but special build gives error (vista x64):

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

This is the error from separate 2.53/script:

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

kivig,

This is the error from separate 2.53/script:

I see console title is 2.52 - scripts will not work with 2.52.

Again - old script with 2.52 works, but special build gives error (vista x64):

Forget about old script =)

kivig, nieghel
Please, enable "Debug" option on Render panel and show me last lines of output (containing command line)

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

I should be dumb as hell - I forgot to restart the computer.
I don't understand how the restart can relate to a zip version of blender or why it didn't worked before though. Mabe my v-ray demo expired?
But it works now!
I'll test everything I'll find

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

- Environment mapping added
For Sky: add "Plugin" texture, than you will see "V-Ray Textures" panel (more vray textures soon)

- Simple material nodes support ("Use material nodes" button under "Pipeline" section)


Follow twitter.com/izrantsev for recent git changes!

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Hello Andrey,
Today I installed V2B 2.53 (custom build with latest components) on widows 64 bit.
The first results are cool, as long as I don't put any material into scene... (screenshot 1)

Below is console log for rendering without any materials

(above that's the material preview phase listing)
do you have any idea if this is my fault or some bug?

Nice V-Ray build - isn't it 2010 now?

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Miracle! ..The renders are fine now..
But material preview is stil black.
Program (Blender) initialization sequence is somewhat strange:

=)

Try to update script - may be yours have some bugs.

Program (Blender) initialization sequence is somewhat strange:

This already fixed. Update script (this update could not work properly with current custom builds - I'm will upload new builds today).

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Dear Anderyme!

I accepted your advice and reinstalled your build and now it exports scene, but I have the same problem as voytov, while my vray build is march 2010... Now what?
