after FIRST (first only) start of Rhino with freshly installed vray Rhino freeze when I open material editor. Shutdown Rhino, do the same again (open, go to mated) and it works... So, first run after Vray installation Rhino freezes in mated, same as in version 13.x and RC1
DarkLight

By "freeze" do you mean it just takes it a noticeable bit to show the material editor or does Rhino completely lock up?

Totally. It just lock up totally, so I have to kill it through taskmanager and run again. Second and next startups works fine, no freezing when I go to mated right after start of Rhino.... It's not so terrible when it freeze only on first start, anyway it can mystify users. Tell me if you are able to reproduce bug. I'm going to reinstall my Windows so I can make a video of this for you, if you are interested.

Did you ever hit "Update Preview" while no material was selected? Doing this will make any following material previews lock up immediately in RC1 and RC2. This has been fixed in my development build, but will definately cause that issue in the current release.

If this is not the way it happened could you tell me more about your specific workflow that causes this issue? Thanks

... automatic DOF distance dosn't work right. And how does the center bias option work? I get no vignetting effect.

PS: Are old bugs. I'm not sure I should post it again.

... if I try to save a rendering from the framebuffer, change the directory and press "save", than Rhino complete hang up. Only if I save without to change the directory, it works.

problems with spot and point light

Not sure if this is really a bug or if i make something wrong. I try to apply spot and pointlights to my scene and they don't emit any light. I already raised the multiplier up to 5000!! and still darkness. At this moment I can only use area and directional light. Any idea where the problem is?

thanks

If you use a decay (default) than you need very high values like 1e6 (1000000) or more. It's ok so.

Yep, this will be fixed in our next release, until then however, just make sure you only update the preview with a material selected

The automatic DOF distance simply uses the distance from the target to the camera as the DOF distance. I'll double-check that there is no mess-up going on, but I'm not sure what you mean by it "doesn't work right". As far as center bias, I'm not the expert on that one, maybe Vlado could explain what its for. I will also check to ensure that param is getting sent to vray properly

Thats an odd one, ok I'll see if I can reproduce that

[Edit]
Ok, so far I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Has this always been a problem for you?

It seems that there are some problems using map channels other than 1. I thought this issue had been fixed in a previous build, but it seems that its back or caused by something else.

Hmm, at an other machine it works. I will observe it.

EDIT: In photoshop the same effect. I suppose so that it is not a VfR problem.

Now, it's only the Vray frame buffer. I have tested other windows programms and the other rhino renderer, but this are working.
