bake problem

[elieli]

I have V-ray 2.00 standalone

And I'cant bake any object. I've used to do that in the past, but no, always get black image. I've even downloaded latest vray demo and build from your site upgraded the script to latest one, and still black Imgae.

Even simple cube, -> YV Mapped as lightmap, Cube selected as baked object, and it's black. Any ideas?
Regards Martin

Ps UV channel is "1" and UV Map is named "1"

Does anybody know how to bake using Vray?

Re: bake problem

OK

I've got file, and Error "No Camera"

How do I turn on baking, Should I use render buton (Image) or there is somewhere hidden button to fire it?

Re: bake problem

You have to activate Bake under Render -> Modules and press "Render" and setup params. Nothing hidden.

Re: bake problem

i see this problem from imported models
for example my new game model created from 3Dsmax when i import it to blender - after changing material to Vraymaterial-in blender and press render to bake i see black render process ( and it done less than 5 sec )

Re: bake problem

I've made a few fixes and hope it won't be very confusing. Now you could name your channels as you want, but in the Bake options you have to enter its index.
Here is a example:
[attachment=0:3tyxxrx8]vb25_bake.png[/attachment:3tyxxrx8]
So, in this example the "Bake" channel will be used.
