Hello there.
This has been several weeks now that we have use Vray in my company, and things are going pretty well. However, there is a bug I haven't been able to fix.
Here's a brief setup of my workflow :
- workstation has maya 2015 and vray3
- 6 render slaves who have only vray3 standalone
- render manager is Renderpal
I have a simple animation where a object (a simple cup) flies in the air and then vanishes (animated visibility). Rendering in local shows no problem, but when I render it through our renderfarm, this cup is missing. Note that there is also another mesh having this bug with another material, but I focused on the cup for the debugging proccess.
Here's what I tried :
- exporting/reimporting the cup as an .obj : no change
- changing the visilibity keys : no change
- changing the material : no change
- attributing the material of the cup to a newly created cube : the cube and the cup are showing!
I was happy, I moved the cube somewhere far out of my camera angle and rendered my animation : the cup is missing again ...
Since I have to export my animation as a .vrscene for the render slaves to render it, I wonder if somehow the vrscene export could mismatch the meshes and cause it to disappear.
Well I had to ship the anim so I rendered the faulty part in batchrender and thought it was just a random rare bug. But then my colleague complained that he had the exact same bug a week after, so I decided to report it here. I checked the threads, I haven't seen any similar situtation.
I hope this is not too confusing to read.
