Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

nieghel, the same problem as what? voytov wrote "The renders are fine now.."
If you have this "Program (Blender) initialization sequence is somewhat strange" I already answered - update the script.
Blender developers change some GUI stuff 3 times for the last 4 days - I just cant update code that fast =)

Andrey!

I mean material problems. No mat preview and doesn't show object only a black "hole"(just like voytov before vray build update) if I add material to it. My build is march 2010 so don't know what can be the problem...

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Where did you get this build? I want to test it myself =)

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

I've sent a pm. Don't know what can be the problem, because with 2.49 this vray works perfectly!

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Hi, I currently use Jun 14, 2010 1.50.SP1. Some time ago also downloaded one of nightly builds, but didn't have time to test it.
Haven't done in-deep testing but materials and lights are working correctly. Material preview is not - but I'll give it next try after updating all elements according to Andrey's info.

BTW Sticking to key releases at such dynamic development is just safer for me as deadlines are real and my only rendering system now is V2B.

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Andrey, did I uderstood it right, that for proper functioning of material preview we need to wait for your new custom build, or dowload adequate "graphicall" Blender version?
If the second is right could you please point to the exact build at their site?
When I try to download the "latest" or similar to the date of script release I get some incompatibility symptoms similar to what I posted lately. (This refers to material preview only, the main rendering process runs properly for most of August releases, system is WIN 64bit).

Thanks!

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

=) Got the preview working!!
I used Graphicall Trunk Blender 2.53 BETA r31199 WIN32 and V2B files available on August 9

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Build updates:
- prevent opening on Blender render window
- Windows installer improved (now it installs everything to the application directory - no need to select any options)

Script updates:
- there are now 2 render operators V-Ray and V-Ray (preview) with material preview (its a little buggy so i decide it to be optional)
- new render channels widget with all render passes support. You could even create channels of the same type with different settings
- reflection, shadow, lightning etc passes are under "Main Passes" channel
- new vray procedurals (sky, falloff, dirt, fresnel)
- internal script changes started - this will cause lost of most of render settings in your scenes - sorry but it must be done.
- most of panels support narrow UI (layout will change when resizing panel)
- caustics support

A lot of new bugs could appear =)

Re: V-Ray/Blender 2.5

Does anyone know how to make a mac build or know anyone who knows how to make a mac build?

I could learn it, but i have a lot of other stuff to do. It would be nice to have proper mac builds as well.
