animated ramps

[seandunderdale]

Ive been stuck on maya 2022 and V-Ray 5 for Maya, update 1.1 (v5.10.21, revision 30888 from Jul 14 2021) which sucks because together its probably the buggiest software combo Ive ever had....recently Ive found that animated ramps arent working when I render a sequence. I have a ramp controlling the reveal of one shader to another, and it works if I render one frame as a test, or in RT, but if I render sequence, I get none of the animation. Ill try it on a simplified scene tomorrow to try to find out more.....

Im fairly sure this is a user error actually, as some of my ramps in the animation seem to work, but some dont. Still not sure why, but I think its an issue my end...as the majority of these things are!

Seems to work for me. There may be another variable causing it. Could you simplify the scene and attach it here?

I think the issue was I was using animated ramps to control the tranisiton of shaders in a blend shader. And I have a few of these objects, so I was trying to copy the shader tree and animation from one asset to another, and just tweak the keys to offset the animation for the other assets. This is where my issue was, and I was getting no animation in batch render, but itd be fine in a single VFB render. If I made the animated ramps again from scratch it all worked fine It just meant a lot of ramp making and animating keys.
