Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

At the moment it is not possible to render more than one image with sky and DOF (standard camera). The 0.0005-reset-to-505-bug is a problem and I'm not sure now, you mean it by "our defaults". So, I bring it again.

What param is resetting from 0.0005 to 505?

[edit]
Nevermind - I just read up a couple posts and now I see what your talking about...the reinhard. I can't seem to reproduce this jump. Could you send me a scene?

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

typo in color mapping: Linear multipliy

important missing VFB channel: Unclamped color. This is to use gamma correction for RGB channel (so that QMC sampler is corrected for gamma correction) and then use unclamped channel to save HDR version of the rendering.

I'm not sure if we have that available to us yet - I'll check it out

I also miss frame stamp options, especially number of faces and I miss rendertime estimation like in max.

Yes we need more frame stamp variables - and I believe someone else was bringing up the render estimation stuff.

crash: open material editor, select a material, maps, check bump map, but don't add map, update material -->crash

Yes- your basically saying to use a null texture as a bitmap. I suppose it should handle it better than crashing though.

if you open object properties, there is a displacement dialog box, but it has no effect whatsoever on displacement.

Yes - it is confusing, I realize...but the object-properties displacement is the RDK displacement and has nothing to do with V-Ray for Rhino.

Maybe the bug is visible only if you use 0.00005 (this is the right value, I posted the wrong). Best download my starterkit
http://www.simulacrum.de/download/Vr...tarterkit3.rar
and set the color mapping multiplier 0.00005. Render two times. First rendering should be ok, second time much to bright.

Very strong bug: the "About V-Ray for Rhinoceros" dosn't work, no command at the button.

If I change the name of the sun dir light, than it dosn't change at the list of the environment sun light list.

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

... gobal override of the local sun options dosn't work. Could be good, if the global override is active, than the local sun option would be "disabled" (grey).

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

... if Vray options are changed during a rendering is calculated, than this changes are set back after the rendering is stoped.

Thanks - Travis Serio had mentioned this one to me via PM a couple days ago. I'll take a look at it

Yes it was also in the previous release I told Corey,it was even worst,because changing a something on a material reflection layer would affect every other materials with reflections.
Does not seems to be the situation now.

Renee

My material play crazy, I setup a wood material with blurry reflection, than I create a mirror material. But if I come back to the material editor and touch the wood material, the mirror is set at wood glossiness 0.8 again. This is not a mirror.
Joe, I suppose so, this is not the last RC release or the final come within the next days, because it is very hard to work with this bug, - I suppose it's inpossible, because if I use more materials, the cross relation will be a big problem.

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

Micha,I feel your pain I have been fighting this bug all weekend long
I must say it is not as bad in RC 1,than it was in the previous one.


I don't know if it is bug,but even if Beta 2 was activated by Joe so I could use it last week,when installing release candidate 1 it ask again for an activation code,the only way to use it is to use it in evaluation mode.
The activation request code is different from beta 2.

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

My previous big project based on the same materials allways, so I have overseen this bug. Only very seldom I got this effect, that I created a material and got a previous reflection setup, but I never got a problem until today - a scene with many new materials.

An other big problem is the strong reflection of the sun. The interreflections of blurry materials are very noisy. So often I can not use the sun. I wish, the sun could act like a directional light with specular effect. Hmm, it look like, I must cancel the sun for my current interior scene.

Other big problem: I apply box mapping. The direction of the mapping is wrong, so I set the mapping rotation at 90 - I get stripes. Could be a RDK problem.


It's not my day. :-\

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

Ok - I'll look into it. I'm guessing this is related to the material bug reported by Renee' and Travis Serio. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Renee' if you want to activate your old one contact support@asgvis.com and our licensing people will take care of it.

I had that with beta 2,but not with RC1

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

The layers of new materials will have the proper defaults - the irritating bug where they use an existing material's layer will no longer happen


I still have the problem with the patch you just upload.It is worst than it was with the RC,now it act the same way the unofficial beta was.

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

If I create several materials with reflection layer, than they are independent - it works fine.
Renee, what is the problem you have seen now?

EDIT: I get the bug again at my old scene too. I will send the scene to Joe.

Re: **** PLEASE POST ALL VFR4 RC PROBLEMS HERE *****

I cant seem to save an IR map. The save dialog appears and I can click save but it doesnt actually create the file.
