vray script cmd problems

[QuakeMarine1]

hi

the switch for
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.animation" 1;
is in the vray common rendersettings tab

I wonder if I can switch
cmds.setAttr("vraySettings.animation", 1)
in Maya/Vray GUI somehow ? I find no option in the GUI to do so

make a shelf button?

cmds.setAttr is python so you'll need this line before:
import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.setAttr("vraySettings.animation", 1)

I think V-Ray will take the value from the Maya default render globals (we had issues otherwise).

Best regards,

and thats the matter i have
I enable in GUI the Animation switch
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.animation" 1;
but sometimes
vraySettings.animation
return me 0

I notice a similar mismatch for
cmds.getAttr("vraySettings.endFrame")
GUI setup is 1900 but it return 0

i can not reproduce it all time and find no logic

Actually these (and some others) attributes of vraySettings are not used anymore, the values are taken from the corresponding Maya attributes directly. The vraySettings ones are still present just so we can avoid warnings/errors with loading of older scenes.
I guess we should make a note for the ones that are not currently used (the last of the group is vraySettings.batchCamera) to avoid that misunderstanding.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
