About 5-5-2010 Nightly Build For Maya 2011, Linux 64

[Reaversword]

By the way, are you sure the Vray for Maya 2008 bug is fixed? Take a look at this image, in the sofa. We still can see different buckets (done with 5 may nightly for Maya 2008 linux 32 and 5 may nightly build for Maya 2011 linux 64)

Ey!, really interesting!, but Vlado please, the command we need to establish the environment variable would be:

export VRAY_VFB_HISTORY=1

and then launch maya?

Yes; you may need to launch Maya from the command line with /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/maya or something like that. This will be enabled by default in future versions anyways.

Then if we use a BlendMtl Material, that needs use two materials "as a texture", we will receive this warnings, right?

If you use a VRayBlendMtl material, this will be fine (you are using one material inside another material, not inside another texture). If you use a Maya Blend node, then you will get the warning.

Ok, Vlado, thanks for your answers, I'm afraid I must take a look at my scene to find this material not well placed.

Man! you're a machine!, you don't stop working neither saturday nor sunday over the forum!. Thanks for be there, but remember that rest is important too!.

But, in Vray August Adv release, when we push "5" for see shaded mode, we see objects assigned with vray materials with the green color.
In the nightly build, now we see it "bright white" color. Really it's impossible to change it?. Something you had done for now we can visualize shaded mode in white... I hope you find a way for this.. for our eyes!.

It will work fine if you use the "Default quality" renderer.

Environment Shader button from Vray Settings, on Environment section doesn't calls the Maya Material Chooser. We need open Hypershade, create the Material and drag and drop to the Enviroment Shader field.

Roll-out list of Vray Camera settings doesn't works. (Its possible use a command for change option, but not through GUI). I'm talking about Camera types, like spherical, cylindrical, etc...

Both of these work fine for me in the latest builds (on Fedora Core .

Actually I could reproduce this, but it seems that it is a bug in the createRenderNode command in Maya 2011 (it tries to set a check-box in a window, but that window is not yet created). This affects any place where you have to assign something other than a texture (e.g. a material or a shading group etc). However it will work if you have used the window to select a texture before that. i have already reported this to Autodesk.

I didn't know about this Maya bug. We hope in the next Maya release they fix it (between another bugs)...

Vlado, thanks for all answers one more time.

I sended to you this past weekend a mail for get the last nightly build, now you said to me that distributed rendering issues are fixed. There is no hurry, but I leave it "said" in the forum. Better continue reporting with the lastest build...

[vlado]

Yes, apologies for the late reply - please check your email.

Best regards,
Vlado

Done. And how you said to me here:

It will work fine if you use the "Default quality" renderer.

Vlado

the color of the shaded mode (yes, in default render mode) is no longer pure white. Yeeeehaaa!. Now depends of the diffuse color. My eyes says that great work one more time!.
