VRscene export folder

[stezza]

When sending to cloud the default path that VRay saves to is "appdata".
Is there a way to change this location?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting. One way to workaround this is to export your vrscene to a selected folder and after that send it to cloud.

This can be done using the translator:


Disable the "render" check box if don't want to render but only export and render the scene.
After you have the vrscene, double click on it and this will start the submit to cloud.
This is the docs page about this.

Thanks Vladimir, this is how I have been doing it now since the new cloud vrscene export doesnt work on my machine.
When using the cloud submit button the new .vrfile that gets created lists every single file that sits on the main "Projects" hard drive for every project!! and wants to upload every file when it finally finishes saving to appdata folder.

so a single render for me takes 30 mins to save out this .vrfile ( because it's saving nearly 30.000 listed files from the main projects folder) and the upload is just under 100GB - even if there are no linked assets/texture files in the scene!!

I did create a ticket for this but my IT dept wont allow any remote desktop connection for you guys to take a look remotely.

The only other way to render out any scene is to export the render settings as a preset.
Open a blank scene and reference the scene in, apply the preset and this now works with the send to cloud button.
