2022 nightly issues thread

Is the V-Ray material library available for Maya yet?
I see it mentioned a bunch of times in the changelog but I can't find a download and the shelf button does nothing so far (it only fires

vrayShowAssetBrowserCmd;

).

Yes. You'll need our 5.1 stable builds. You can get them from here: https://nightlies.chaosgroup.com/mai...e/stable_5.1.2
It's downloaded during the installation.

Ah, if you haven't downloaded it with the install, you'll need to download it manually.
On windows the downloader is located here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\vray\bin\mtllib.exe

Thanks, downloading now.

Is the location of the material library configurable somewhere?

[yolov]

You can change the 'target directory' when you run mtllib.exe.

I am trying to render a shadow pass with the intel OpenImage denoiser but it seems that all frames rendered on the farm with MayaBatch use the V-Ray denoiser (the log shows this: VDenoise: Using device 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti).
Is there some way to force the use of the intel denoiser?

There's two controls in the denoiser that specify the denoiser for regular rendering and for IPR separately.
Can you check which is set to which in the denoiser attributes?

I have set the intel denoiser in both. It renders fine local.

That's weird. Can you tell me the V-Ray version (and build number if available) - you can get it from V-Ray > About.
Does it work if you run a batch render (of a single frame) locally ?

[yolov]

Also, are there any errors/warnings in the log? And what's the CPU on the farm? I think we have a fallback to VDenoiser if nvidia and intel fail, but there should be a print that we're falling back.

Rendering a single frame from Maya looks correct.
Batch render also looks correct.

V-Ray 5 for Maya, update 1
(v5.10.20, revision 30833 from Jun 15 2021)

There are no errors in the log. Also no message about falling back to VDenoiser.
The farm is all intel Xeon. My workstation has a AMD Threadripper.

OK - one more thing - is this a zip build or the regular installer (the one that's installed on the farm).

[yolov]

Is the same version installed on your farm?

Zip.

Yes.
