vray standalone flags

So this would only effect the client machine and not the number of threads used on the slaves?

Thanks

Yes - it only affects the client machine.

When using the -frames option, is there a way to stop it from outputing a frame padding when it writes the file?

For now this won't be possible, but we make a note about it.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi,

Has there been any update on this?

When rendering a single frame (not part of an animation) via standalone it always adds the frame number with 4 padding to the render file name and is very annoying. Can we stop it from doing this? Again in maya and the render settings it is set to a single frame. No animation settings have been set up.

We are using Build from Apr 28 2011.

We are using Deadline to submit our renders but have tested this via the command line and vray still automatically adds the frame padding when writting the file out.

It looks like maya is still passing out animation settings info in the settings.

 anim_frame_padding=4;
  anim_renumber_on=0;
  anim_renumber_start=0;
  anim_renumber_step=1;
  anim_ren_frame_start=0;

If I comment this out. The file will get written correctly. EDIT! - This does not actually fix it. I realised I was rendering via command line without the "-frames" flag. If I enable the frames flag it still renders out with the frame padding even though I commented the info out in the vrscene fil

So can we get vray to respect the settings in maya when translating the vray options?

Many thanks,

Richard

For the moment the standalone will always add the frame number if you specify the -frame option. I can add another options, -noFrameNumbers which will respect what is written in the .vrscene file.

Yeah an option like that would be perfect.

Cheers,
