Vray Render All Takes BUG?

[chadstevens]

Hi all, I'm trying to render all takes with Vray. There is a ROP Wedge for this very reason, and it works great except when I choose: Wedge Range <All Wedges>.
I get an error and Houdini crashes.

I get this error in the VFB log: Warning : [AppSDK:clearFrameValues] Can't modify renderer while asynchronously preparing to start rendering.

It's worth noting that I've checked the box that says wait for render to complete.

Is this a bug with Vray or should I set this up another way?

Cheers.

A bug.

Thanks bdancer for the fast reply. Can you let me know if/when this is fixed in a new nightly?
Cheers.

If you could send me some test scene it'll be very helpful, thanks!

I've sent you an email with a very basic .hip file.
Do you think it would be possible to allow sharing of .hip files on the forum? They're usually very small and it's a great way of sorting out bugs.

Cheers.

Afair .zip is allowed.

Yes, thanks, didn't realize that worked.

Cheers.

Tnx, should work better in the next nightly.

Hi Andrei, That does seem to resolve the issue with the Wedging, however, I've come across several issues with that nightly build (22950) for Houdini 19.531

1. it doesn't seem to take my sampling settings into account, if I set it to progressive it renders buckets and it seems to stay at a noise threshold of 0.5 because it renders very fast with tons of noise even when I set the noise threshold to 0.01.

2. it seems to have caused an issue with some of the materials in my scene, the glossiness doesn't seem to be working.

Yes, sorry for that, some issue have leaked into the build... They are already fixed and should work fine in the next build.

This works great, thanks for all the help and effort.
