Hi, i have the following problem:

Open scene, press export meshes, render .. all works great.
Adjust something, press export meshes, following problem:


Traceback (most recent call last):

The actual error is here:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'Q:\\Travel\\travel(4-lake)\\vray_export\\river20111229\\river20111229_l ights.vrscene'

Looks like V-Ray is still running - kill its process (vray.exe) in Task Manager.

Re: location:&lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

samih75, open task manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, find vray.exe process and kill it. Next time press Esc in V-Ray window to stop render before closing window.

Re: location:&lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

Sometimes it looks like one of the vrscene files got corrupt.
Only way i could fix that was to delete all vrscene files, and reexport meshes again.

Our problem before was that we pressed rerender again to fast, the render nodes were still using the vrscene files.
Hope this helps someone.

i recommend to open blender via comandline, than you see what it is doing!

without this is i could not work anymore!!

on mac:

/use_your_blender_folder/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender

on windows:

you can open it in the to menu in the rider "help" the commandline (not sure at the moment what it is called, the black icon )

Re: location:&lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

one more thing!

to stop the rendering via command line typ press

strg+c


but this does not work to abort exporting a mesh ( for example when you render an animation, this will take AGES!!

is there a way to stop, abort this process, without restarting blender?

when it is a long animation it can take up to 10 minutes! and it its even more anoying if you render not moving opjets, because than you don't need to export for every frame...
and if you did't not save before pressing render... you can't really do anything

it there a way to abort gently

Re: location:&lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

To create a shortcut in windows to open up blender, with the command line, just create a new shortcut and use the following as target:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k START C:\PROGRA~1\VrayBlender-2.61\blender.exe

Replace C:\PROGRA~1\VrayBlender-2.61\blender.exe with the path on your computer, but this is the default one on win7 64.
