Processing Geometry Table

[broozee]

I've been rendering a model just fine. I close the model, return to it later in the day, and all of a sudden, I can't render.

The Rhino command line says processing geometry table. The Rhino just hangs and ultimately, forces me to end the task.

I save the file to a new location and the same problem. I up grade to SRC 5 and the problem still occurs.

Is this Vray or Rhino that is getting stuck at this phase? I don't understand because it just started happening out of the blue.

Bill,

Please send us the scene at vrfrhino@asgvis.com. We will check it out ASAP.

Best regards,

do you have the most recent version of VRay for Rhino? 12.1 ? There was a problem in Beta 12 that was resolved in 12.1 that involved the render process getting stuck in an infinte loop ( hanging )

Sorry for the delay - I got really busy after my post and used Saturday to get drunk.

I've downloaded and installed 12.1 the day it came out. Unless I installed it incorrectly, to the best of my knowledge, I am having the problem using 12.1

I will e-mail you the file.

Thanks for the help,
Bill

Hello,

Any idea's as to what might be wrong? I e-mailed a file as requested. I would like to work with this same model without have to set it up again.

Today, I tired saving to a different location / name but still have problems.

Some times (very seldom), if you can not open a scene anynmore, it helps to open a scene per rhino 4 and save it as rhino 3 file, but than all vray data are gone. Only the last help.

Also there is a way to purge plugin data from a file if you think that it has become corrupted. Thats basically what your doing, except you can do this from within Rhino3. In the rhino command line type "-save" and then hit "v" to toggle SavePluginData to NO. No plugin data will be saved out. So this is a quick way to strip all non-Rhino stuff out. This is a nuclear bomb of sorts, so use it only if you REALLY need it.

... the rhino 4 method is good, if rhino crash at open a file. I had this problem some weeks befor.

Thanks for the response guys! I appreciate it.

@Micha

I can open the file, assign materials, work on the model etc. But when I hit render, the command line shows "Processing Geometry Table" and then hangs. No offical crash or error.

@joeb

Per my response to Micha, is this "nuclear bomb" something you think I should try?

Well, if you'd like, make a copy of the file first and try it on the copy. I am not sure if it will do the trick for you or not, but so long as you back your file up there is no harm in trying.

I have been very wrapped up in some features issues for a week or so - but I believe Corey has forwarded me your scene so I will definately take a look at it over the weekend. Sorry for the delay

Joe,

I will go ahead and try it on a copy then. No worries on the delay. I'm just happy you guys are working hard and doing a great job at taking care of your customers.

Joe,

I nuked the file as you described. It sort of worked. I got passed Processing Geometry Table and was able to create the rendering mesh. Then crash.

I ran into the same problem again with a different model this time. I tried Micha's approach of opening the file in Rhino 4 but it didn't work either.

Everything was rendering fine until I stopped mid way through to changes some settings. I turned off Batch Render and enabled GI. When I hit render, things hang at Processing Geometry Table.

After doing some problem solving, I found cut and pasting my model into a new template, I was able to render again.

Before doing this, I checked for any bad objects that might be causing the problem. There were none.

Not sure if this helps any but at least I'm able to render again!

Thats definately good news, I'm still looking around to see if I can figure out the issue, I'll keep you posted if I find anything
