So I cant use the GPU lightcache because its pushes over the memory limit of my 2080ti. Without it turned on its fine with scene using about 9.3 gig. Turn on the lightcache gpu wip and it shoots up over the limit. This isnt going to be the case when normally is it? If so, it defeats the point.

To update on the Maya 2022 situation
Rebuilt windows, installed a fresh copy of Maya 2022, fresh beta of VRay 5.1 and V-Ray does not load with Maya 2022.
I've installed polytrans which works with 2022 and a few other plugins. Just V-Ray refuses to load and I have no idea why it's working for othersMaya 2020/2022

Originally posted by Karol.Osinski View PostHi everybody,
Great to see the update yolov , we all appreciate the hard work you guys put into it. Though, I wonder was update 1 for 3ds max also in BETA initially? I just don't wanna get used to the whole world working this way now, more and more feature we pay for are BETA and we become free BETA testers
Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy trying new things and experimenting with new features and I know this is the way things are nowadays, I just hope it won't escalate too much in V-Ray (now we have OUT OF CORE - BETA and GPU LC - BETA).
This beta in particular is more of an exception, than a rule.
We usually launch betas for major versions, but this time around we wanted to get people on board with our progress, especially with USD support, so we decided to open up the builds to all existing users before the official launch. We actually have never done this before and it's interesting to know if people will welcome it, both in terms of getting feedback on the features and on the fact that we have a point-release-beta.
Update 1 for 3ds Max was not in beta, it never was. We just decided to do this for Maya and Houdini specifically.
As for features like GPU LC and Out-of-core - those features themselves are initial implementations and we put a 'WIP' label next to them just to make sure people know this and we are working on making them more stable and robust - once that's done we'll remove the 'WIP' label, but this is completely outside of the scope of any betas or releases.
Having said that - I noticed that there's lots of VRAM issues with GPU LC and I'll make a separate post about it.
I hope that this helps clear things up. Any further thoughts are more than welcome.
Anyway I am so excited to see some progress in displaying V-Ray materials in Maya's viewport. You guys said many times that it is really challenging to make it work in Maya.
Progressive caustics - can't wait to try it!
I got to mention that I am on NVIDIA driver version of 462.31 which is newer than recommended. In the meantime , I will rollback the driver to the recommended one and hope that most of my GPU IPR fatal errors will disappear.
Thanks in advance.

It stops on building LC most of the time, then I cannot close the render like you
If you turn GPU LC off, everything works fine in production rendering..
And yeah LC GPU uses a lot of VRAM, nearly double the amount that the IPR uses.. I'm testing this now, and will report soon

For anyone else that got error in line 316 with Maya and where V-Ray will not load,
You'll have to modify the Path "user variable" in windows' environment variables.
If you have a previous version of Maya installed (in my case Maya 2020) just remove the "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2020\bin" entry and keep the "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\bin" entry.
Haven't seen this occur before but it seems that will fix Maya's issue in not loading V-Ray.
I'm not sure why other 3rd party plugins loaded with the old Maya path in there but definitely fixed it for me
yolov , it happened with the regular installerLast edited by snivlem; 11-05-2021, 06:41 PM.Maya 2020/2022

I'm not sure I would recommend this workaround, Maya itself may stop working (well, if you have uninstalled 2020, then it "should" be fine)
It sounds like somehow your PATH variable was wrong, I don't know what may have caused this.
But glad you have a working solution! Thanks for sharing!

I think AD broke something with Maya 2022, looking around forums, it happened to Renderman,and some other plugins. Been using Maya since 2005 and haven't seen this one before!
As soon as V-Ray is released anyway and VRayScatter, no need for Maya 2020!Maya 2020/2022

Hi yolov , thanks for the comprehensive answers.
My mistake with the drivers was that I always looked at the STUDIO driver instead of GAME one, Now I am on recommended game driver 461.09 and I am getting much, much less CUDA fatal errors than before. Still happens from time to time, mind you.
btw I usually don't have much proxies / displacement in my scenes. When I do, it means the scene is big and I have to go CPU for this reason anyway.
Thanks,

Alright. What about render resolution ? And also are there many render elements ?

I am using the zip installation method and V-Ray won't load. The plugins are listed in the plugin manager but when I try to load them, I get the following error:
Code:// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 317: Unable to dynamically load : Z:/Vray/vray_adv_51020_maya2020_x64/maya_vray/plug-ins/vrayformaya.mll The specified module could not be found. // // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 317: The specified module could not be found. (vrayformaya) //
Is this this correct?

We've uploaded the changes to our docs, so it's best to refer to the correct setup for zip builds here: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...ation+from+zip
