RT

[voytov]

Andrey,
Thaks very much for V-Ray RT functionality!
Didn't expect it actually, but today I see it really works!!

My questions are:
1 Is it self refreshing now? (does it restart rendering witch each change in geometry, materials, lighting)?
2 How do I stop rendering? Esc or simply closing VFB
3 Problem: after checking "Use OpenCL" VFB is all black (at windows7 GeForce GTX 460 and V2B 35787 build) - could you tell what graphic hardware and eventually driver versions did you use to launch render on Open CL successfully?

Re: RT

Upss!!...
I looked at the VFB - it occurs that render did start successfully on OpenCL - but without V-RaySky texture.. guess it may be graphic card issue..
?

Re: RT

1. No ( Have no time for this. Really to much to code...
2. Yep, Esc should work.
3. Good that it works )) It hangs up in Linux for me...

Re: RT

The first time launching RT with OpenCL took about 15 mins! - that's bacause VRay had additional phase then: "Building raytrace application" or sthg like that. That took so long..
Every next render initialization on any scene is much quicker ( a few seconds, depending on model size ).

Re: RT

Could you please implement one more option in stereo mode?
-swapping LR projecton to RL (right image goes on the left side of render) would be usefull in some situations..

Re: RT

voytov, I want to, but a lot of options are not yet in Standalone.. still porting from 3ds max...

Re: RT

..Sure, don't hurry with this particular function. Just a wish for future releases

Re: RT

Great! I didn't know RT was included. Where did you buy it or is it part of Standalone now?

Re: RT

I got an access for the nightly builds of V-Ray (as a user of a Standalone licence) what I downloaded in recent weeks appears to be V-Ray Standalone 1.5 with the core of V-Ray2 (2.01)..
You need to contact V-Ray Support to be granted these access rights.

I'm very excited with RT now because even though its not "interactive" here, I'm getting the precise information about final image in 30-40 secs (for large scenes), and in 10 secs for basic ones.

That's a boost for me..

Re: RT

Thanks Voytov. I will request this with Chaosgroup. Last time they have not answered my email though.

Re: RT

BTW I was talking to evermotion.org today, and the girl there told me that whether Chaos grants that permission mostly depends on argumentation while applying for.
I wrote them I was very much interested in helping the V2B integration progress and after quite a few days they did send me access instruction.
One rule is absolute confidency of the data so there is no possibility of sharing unfortunately..
