Dome Light Z/Y up issue

[Yannick]

Hi,
we updated our Vray version to this one:
[2012/Aug/29|14:28:47] V-Ray: V-Ray for Maya version 2.10.01, revision 22263 from Jul 20 2012, 02:17:45
[2012/Aug/29|14:28:47] V-Ray: V-Ray core version is 2.00.01

Now the dome light keeps rotating when rendering on our farm.
This is due to the fact that our farm has Maya install as default (with Y Up) and we work Z up.
Even while using the "Use Transform", the light gets rotated
.
Has something changed in this version as the previous version was fine? and is there a way to force vray to work Z up?
Will it be fix in newer version?

thanks

Yannick

In render global --> vray ---> Misc. You have "up vector". Set it to Z up.

thanks but it is missing in our version. There is a Sun Up vector but that's it.
I guess must be a version that had something change the up vector not implemented...

Cheers,

I installed the last Stable and I can see this in the change log:
[feature request] Add an option in the V-Ray render settings whether to take the up axis from the Maya preferences, or to specify it explicitly - resolved.
but I can't find the option.

Any one from Chaosgroup?

thanks.

Add this in python acces :

import vray.utils as vr

for i in vr.findByType("SettingsUnitsInfo"):
	i.set("scene_upDir", vr.Vector(0.0, 0.0, 1.0))

from another thread I got the python code, i tied it in the Post translate python Script but that didn't work

Cheers.

import vray.utils as vr

for i in vr.findByType("SettingsUnitsInfo"):
	print i.params(getValues = True)

Add this code and tell me what the code "print" when you render.

Hi Vlado, Can you let us know when it is fix. Currently we are rendering on our local machine and cant use our farm.

Cheers,
