I hope you can help. Since I installed Vray Rhino Update 1, I've had various new problems I'm having trouble solving.
Background: I'm using Rhino 7 and the most recent Nvidia driver release. My file includes several blocks. The Parts Blocks (windows, doors, etc) are inserted and "referenced" into the Building Block which is a single instance block inserted and set to "reference" in the master campus file.
Problem 1. The window material set in the parts block is set to the stock vray glass yellow gray material. It renders fine in the parts block. it renders fine in the building block. However, it fails as shown when the building block is rendered in the master file. This is a new problem following installation of Update 1.
Problem 2. In the photo, the human figure on the left is, or was, set to the vray fine white paint material. Following the update, that material duplicated itself and inserted the color blue in the diffuse setting. The name of the material did not change other than appending a serial number to it, so it still reads 'fine white paint'. In some cases duplicates occurred, but retained their original diffuse assignment. I've found as many as ten duplicates of a material. Not all duplicates display in the vray asset editor nor do all duplicates appear to display in the rhino materials tab. In rhino materials tab some are attributed to a "custom" source and some to vray.
Problem 3. In the asset editor i have the SKY environment linked to the rhino sun. After the update, at times, the sky appears black. Changing time of day or deleting and reinstalling the SKY does not resolve the problem.
Problem 4 (minor, personal preference). Vray has been designing some user interface switches to passive rather than clear and active switches. For example, the color clamping switch (on my computer) is almost black on black and very difficult to read. Also, personally I'd rather it provide feedback that it is on or off instead of being darkened or lightened, which until you memorize the status has a 50:50 change of being on or off. Similarly, in the batch processing window, to acquire snapshots one must know to right or left click on the empty top row to obtain access to the snapshots. I encourage positive feedback in the interface and not so much reliance on memorization (I'm getting old).
Thanks, I've spend hours trying to sort this out. It's probably my error, but help would be greatly appreciated.
