VRay RT Crashing on completion

[ricoholmes]

Hello, using nightly build admittedly, but for the last few nightlies I've tried (currently 18December build 22604) Maya completely freezes when trying to exit IPR.

Also: rotating a VrayDomeLight via horizontal rotation on its VRayPlaceEnvTex causes the light to be ignored.

It didn't crash really, just froze and only if you used the V-Ray VFB. This is fixed already for the next night build tomorrow.

Can you explain a bit more? The light completely disappears?

Ahh superb! yes it was the VFB, thank you.

While using it to do a basic HDR environment using VrayDomeLight (file, EXR). IPR/RT works perfectly while translating the camera/objects/ updating mats etc.. When changing the horizontal rotation attribute value of the (spherical) VRayPlaceEnvTex the lighting just goes completely black. Restarting the IPR used to work (before the above VFB IPR freeze) but terribly clumsy and a little self-defeating. Restarting only worked until the next rotation attempt.

Hi ricoholmes,

I was unable to reproduce this with the same V-Ray build, but maybe I missed something. This regards the horizontal rotation (spherical mapping) issue in RT. Could you give us some more info on OS, Maya version and if possible - send over a scene, with which the issue is reproducible at vraymaya@chaosgroup.com so we can figure out the problem.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
