Some ideias

- Love the new icons on the outliner, they really cool.
-Still missing having a render view that select cameras and creates a snapshot.
-Need a way to save the render elements config, in the same way I can save v-ray render settings ( thats is really import )

I have tons of problems getting Rt to work on my mac, 90% of the times I get - host is not available error message
I always end up not using it.... that slows my workflow.

V-ray Rt viewport is great but i would prefer something more like this ( in terms of what is rendering and looking at elements )https://vimeo.com/113739217

- Every time i use cad data, like everyone has already written on the forum, it comes with a lot of the normal wrong, and to V-ray they are very import and to me also so I dont have to render 2 faces, but i could thing a method the generally overwrite and say that I want the whole scene to be double sided.
Even using materials with the override wasn't working.
My surprise was to notice v-ray was the only one that I tried that cared for the normal direction, renderman, arnold and corona ( all for maya ) rendered the data fine without any teak.
Is is something I have to tick on settings, that forces 2 sided geo ?

Keep going vlado and team, v-ray is excellent.

Can you explain this one a bit more?

This will be reworked eventually without the need to start a separate rendering process, so hopefully things will work much smoother.

We will not be doing this for the time being, I'm afraid. Maybe later on.

Can you get me an actual scene for that? It sounds more like a bug that needs to be fixed.

"-Still missing having a render view that select cameras and creates a snapshot."

Yes indeed. A rightclickable Teapot (Renderbutton) which shows all Cameras would be nice. Right now, I alwas have to have the maya renderview open (shrinked to the buttonbar)

Did you actually try right-clicking on the teapot in the VFB?

OMFG! Since when was that there? - Glad I brought this up, otherwise I kept my old workaround-workflow.....
Thanks! (and sorry...)

[vlado]

It was there for the official 3.0 release, I think. But it's not obvious in the UI... maybe we should put tooltips.

Click on the save button under in render elements tab, after get your saved renderelements in reference, check "use reference" in render elements tab.
You will have same render elements for every scene, just override every time your references if you want to update. Easy.

Hi Vlado.
About Using RT on my mac config.
I have a quadro 4000 2gb and a GTX 760 4GB, and when using rt
90% of the time i get this error
// Warning: line 1: Render host graphics-06.visualplayground.co (127.0.0.1:20207) is not responding

Using either cpu/gpu/cuda

current core 3.15.01/ version 3.05.04
but even on the locked cpu version I was getting the same error.

mac os 10.9.5 intel xeon 2x2.66 6 core , 48 gb ram

Thanks

Can you tell us what version of Maya are you using?
Which V-Ray for Maya revision are you running (it is printed in the log when you start Maya from the command line/terminal)?

And also is it possible to start V-Ray standalone in server mode manually?
Do you have vray-slave registered as a service?

Another idea for 2016:
While optimizing my workflow in the new hypershadewindow of maya 2016, I would find it most useful to give the possibility to dock the vfb into the hypershadewindow. Right now, I have to first dock the maya renderview and then change the panel of the renderview to replace it with the vfb. Unfortunately I have to do that every time maya is started.
(And a v-ray-RT-button in the vfb would be nice too )

A V-Ray RT button in the VFB is coming

1- Maya 2015 ext1
2- Dont know, How can I do it?
3- No.Because I dont use my workstation as a slave. But is it needed?

I will send the scene to support today.
The same scene that i'm sending, renders as expect in other engines.
Thanks
