Nparticle mesh and velocity

[Yannick]

Hi,
Does anyone knows how to get a velocity pass for a mesh created from nparticles (convert Nparticles to polygons).
Vray doesn't seem to see the mesh moving as (I think) the mesh is a new entity for every frame.
I read somewhere about baking the mesh animation, but that didn't work.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Yannick

Which V-Ray version/service-pack you are using?
I managed to get velocity information from converted to polygons nParticles with version 3.x.

Hi,

I am using: [2014/Sep/16|16:26:50] V-Ray: V-Ray for Maya version 2.40.02 from May 14 2014, 16:40:13
[2014/Sep/16|16:26:50] V-Ray: V-Ray core version is 2.00.02

We have version 3 but no license yet( our IT dept is managing this)

Thanks,

I've just run another test with V-Ray 2.40.02 and there is no velocity information.
It seems that this is only supported in version 3.x.

V-Ray 3.x beta program is still open you can apply for it on the following link:

We have v3 but no license at the moment. (our IT dept is managing this so not sure when we will get it working).

You should update the licenses on the dongle.
If you don't know the procedure please contact us at support@chaosgroup.com and we will help you with that.

I'll chase IT to see what is going on.
