Yeti, maya, vray no fur in render?

[hellobard]

I've been testing Yeti too and it's actually quite simple and nice to use. I struggled a lot more to get Shave to render nice results.
There are a few youtube videos that show you how to fur and groom a character, and the documentation isn't too bad really. Obviously it's a new software so it doesn't have many tutorials etc. yet. I still found it quick to get into. Learned how to get it up and running within a couple of hours.

Super quick test:



Took about 3-4 minutes on an i7-3930k with GI BF+LC and VrayHairMtl3.

I have Yeti installed in Maya & it works But I cannot for the life of me get it to render in Vray!
I have done as the yeti installation guides say in regards to environmental Variables & all the plugins load up OK in maya. but it wont render.
does anyone who has this working have a checklist of what to do to make it render?
Thanks
Chris

Do you get any warnings or errors when you render?

[cdavis]

no. but im at home testing this & only have a demo of vray. the guys at peregrin labs think maybe the demo wont let me use custom plugins/procedurals

[vlado]

The custom plugins should work, there is no limitation, but I'm not quite sure if it's not something else in the demo.

OK, how can i test that theory?

Hi,

I've tried to test Yeti with the V-Ray Demo. Unfortunately it didn't work for me as well.
BTW, Yeti is working very well with V-Ray ADV.
I hope it helps you.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation - will check it out.

would that be something from the Yeti end or Chaos end ?

Probably something in V-Ray... the demo might be specifically coded to load only the standard V-Ray plugins - I have to check. In any case, we can get you a full evaluation license if you need it.

Hello!
I'm thinking about migrating from max to maya and I want to test vray with yeti but with my demo vray installed I can´t see the hair in the render.
I have maya 2017, yeti 2.5 and vray 3.5 demo

Is the problem with yeti and vray demo stil there or could be a installation problem? (I think I did all the evironment variables stuff well...)

[Morbid Angel]

in pre render mel is there a pgYetiVRayPreRender line input?

[gagui]

Yes it is!

I've attached captures of my maya settings and environment variables.

So the vray demo should render fine yeti hairs?

[yolov]

Unfortunately, the demo version of V-Ray doesn't support Yeti. I'll make a note to discuss adding this ability to the demo.

Ok, that make sense but I really looking in migrating from max to maya but I need to test yeti first. Is there any possibility to have a copy of vray for maya 2017 that supports yeti just for testing?
Thanks
