Known is the ortho viewport problem - rendering and viewport dosn't match. Interesting, if I use the attached script (render selected) than it works sometimes.

Following test: create a big plane + some objects. Now go to top view and select only the groundplane. Start the script (can be copied to a button befor). It works fine. Now select the gound plane + one object. Render selected -> viewport/rendering dosn't match.

Next test: select all - edit material - apply - render selected - viewport dosn't match. Select only the ground material - render selected - now the previous selection is rendered (because we don't have refreshed the scene per material edit) and the rendering match.

Render selected script:

-_RunScript (
Sub RenderSelected
Dim arrobjects, hideObjects, lights
arrObjects = Rhino.GetObjects("Select Object for Rendering" , , vbTrue, vbTrue)
lights = Rhino.ObjectsByType (256)
If IsArray (arrObjects) Then
hideObjects = Rhino.InvertSelectedObjects
If Not IsArray(hideObjects) Then
Rhino.print "Only one object in scene use regular render command"
Else
Rhino.HideObjects(hideObjects)
Rhino.command "_Render"
Rhino.showObjects (hideObjects)
Rhino.SelectObjects (arrobjects)
End If
End If
End Sub
RenderSelected
)

Will it be possible to get an unlimited reflection intensity multiplier? Often I wish to get more reflection (in fresnel mode), but I don't like to use the IOR parameter.

This is a known problem. It should help if you open a material, change a parameter like the color a little bit and apply it again. Now, the scene parameter will be refreshed internal. The same for the mapping tool.

Mapping Problem: sometimes I get no mapping tiling. I can edit the material, but it dosn't help. Also, sometimes if it work and I edit an other material, than the tiling of the first material is gone again.

Good luck.

Edit: the same problem with Treefrog and Maxwell.

I have find the problem. Some weeks befor I had the problem that the Vray render start very slow, but per _renderpreview it was fast again. So I have changed the command of the render button to _renderpreview. And this is the problem, because the mapping tool is ignored from this command.

Halloooooo, is somebody here?

Here a small fix for the refresh problem of hide, tiling and Co.. I have modify my render button so that a small sphere is created and undo. So, the scene is refreshed and tiling and hide works perfect.

Here my render button command list:

_Sphere 0,0,0 1
_Undo
_Render

... very small bug: if I hide anything and press render, than Vray is blocked until I restart Rhino.

that won't be necessary in the next build. But thats a good idea until then. Keep in mind though, if its a large scene, you may not want to force a remesh each time if you aren't making changes to the mapping stuff...Thats why I don't just force the geometry to be re-processed each time.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If you hide geometry vray is blocked?

The render being slow problem was resolved a few builds ago. I don't see how RenderPreview could ignore mapping unless you are not forcing the geometry table to be re-processed. Both Render and RenderPreview use the same mapping and meshes. When I have some more time I'll see if I can reproduce this problem.

[edit]
Also I think that tiling problem is a known issue with RCM. I can't remember which thread, but I could have sworn we've discussed that one before

Hi,

There is a small bug in the options:

Ticking (or un-ticking) the GI checkbox will reset all other rollouts to defaults ... any custom values are lost.

test: take a scene - select all - hide - render. Last mesage from Vray: "Processing geometry table". Now, if you unhide anything you can not render anymore, because Vray say: "Please wait for the current render to finish".
OK, it makes no sense to render an empty scene, but the user could make a mistake and ... . Maybe you like to avoid this blocking situation.

I remember me answer: use the edit button of the material and the mapping works fine. I think, a RCM problem is, that the _renderpreview command ignore the tiling. But, is not so important, because we don't need this command.
