vray RT searching for plugins

[jeremyp]

Hello,

We have vray installed and pathed to work from the network. This works fine, except for vray rt. RT seems to want to search from the vray plugins in E:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2013\vray\vrayplugins

I'm not sure we have that set anywhere, and the vray renderer itself looks in the correct place for plugins (as set by VRAY_FOR_MAYA2013_PLUGINS_x64)?

Any ideas?

Hi,

V-Ray RT uses V-Ray standalone, so you'll have to setup V-Ray standalone to load the plugins from the proper directory.
See here http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/maya...l_from_dir.htm for details about what you have to do

I added the missing env var, VRAY_PLUGINS_x64 and it finds the plugins.

It is still searching on e: though, why is that?

Because it is set in the config file - vrayconfig.xml
