Rendering Alab USD scene

[oglu]

If i try to render the Alab scene vray does ignore turning off the light layer. The scene is just super bright. Hiding the lights in the outliner does also not help.

Would be great to get it working with vray lights.

Has really noone tried to render this scene?

I've rendered it, attached are some renders.

Best regards,

Nice Vlado, i like it.
What is the trick to get it working with maya?

[yolov]

You just load the USD file for the ALab scene in a MayaUSDProxy and render it with V-Ray, nothing more. Or alternatively use the new bifrost graph to pass a usd stage to the maya scene.
What issues are you having?

I just tried on my end, and it works as expected. I can deactivate light prim and render with textures. Looking good

[oglu]

Thats more than strange i get nothing. There is nothing in the alpha. Just the light.

V-Ray 5 for Maya, update 2.2
(v5.20.02, revision 31358 from Apr 12 2022)

Maya 2023
Maya_USD v0.17

[yolov]

I used MayaUSD 0.16.0. Can you try with 0.16?
We're yet to add 0.17 support.

Tried the Pixar Kitchen now. Same issue just black.

[oglu]

I cant do a rollback sorry. I have to wait in this case.

It works fine with 0.16
As Yolov said 0.17 isn't support yet

[oglu]

I can confirm its rendering with 0.16
But if i hit render after import i get a really dark scene.
I assume i can compensate that with a physical cam.

I noticed the glas bottles are invisible. Are there known problems with the glas shader coming with USD?
