shave network path with vray/maya

[refract]

We have set the VRAY_PLUGINS_X64 //network/vray/vrayplugins
and placed Shave dlls in the folder
Vray does not seem to recognize these network plugins

The same plugins work when placed locally at
C://ProgramFIles/Maya2012...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Which OS is this?

Sorry, stupid question, of course it's Windows. Which V-Ray version though? I know we had this issue before, but it was fixed at some point.

Best regards,

Try doing this:
:: Declare vray build version
SET VRAY_ROOT=Z:\_image\pipeline\maya2012\vray\vray_22 501_22367
:: Declare shave build verion Shave v6
SET SHAVE_ROOT=Z:\_image\pipeline\maya2012\shave\shave _v6.0v71

:: Declare vray plugin paths
SET VRAY_FOR_MAYA2012_PLUGINS_x64=%VRAY_ROOT%/vrayplugins;%SHAVE_ROOT%/vrayplugins
SET VRAY_FOR_MAYA_SHADERS=%VRAY_ROOT%/shaders;%SHAVE_ROOT%/shaveHair
SET VRAY_PLUGINS_x64=%VRAY_ROOT%/vrayplugins;%SHAVE_ROOT%/vrayplugins

:: Declare system paths
SET PATH=%VRAY_ROOT%/mayadll;%VRAY_ROOT%/bin;%SHAVE_ROOT%/mayadll;%SHAVE_ROOT%/plug-ins;%PATH%


Also you will need to add the scripts and icons to appropriate paths, but this above should load regular shave/vray plugins. You do not need to place all plugins to vrayplugin folder, rather specify their locations separatly.
