Animation doesn't start rendering?

[rt_visser]

Hi!

I got a model where I want to create an animation of. Its a big model, has a lot of polygons etc. and a lot of Laubwerk objects in it as I do garden design visuals..
I have two scenes, duration is 6 seconds (weirdly enough i cannot set any FPS?)

Once I setup everything in the asset manager (like resolution etc.) and click on 'Render' - it does switch quickly to the the second scene.. but doesn't actually start rendering.
I've waited about 14 hours for it to start, but the screen keeps frozen.

I use CPU rendering in this case (as I prefer the output of the materials in the CPU above GPU/CUDA but that might be my misunderstanding as I'm fairly new..)

Setup:
OS: Windows 11 PRO - 22631.3958
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor
GPU: GiBy24GB D6X RTX 4090 Aorus Master
RAM: DDR5 96GB 6600-32 Dominator Titanium bk K2

SketchUp version: 24.0.553 64bit
V-ray version: V-Ray 6 for SketchUp, update 2.4
Laubwerk version: v1.0.50

Hope you can help me out!
Cheers, Ruurt

Hello rt_visser!

Thank you for writing us and sending the scene.
We will investigate what causes the issue further more and will let you know.

Have you found anything yet? I've done a few checks myself but still can't get it to work.

Hello, rt_visser!

It’s clear that the scene export process is causing delays in your project. Our developers need more time to investigate the issue, which is more complex than we initially thought.
The scene's large number of materials (2801) seems to be a key factor in the slowdown. Our first step will be to handle these materials more efficiently.
We’re also planning several other optimizations for the animation export.

Thank you again for reporting this and excuse us for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
Ivelina

Hi,

I was hoping there was a solution yet for my issue?
I've tried with update V-Ray 6, Update 2, hotfix 6 (6.20.06) but here it also doesn't start yet.

Cheers!

Hi,

Very sad to hear no reply on this issue which is causing a lot of issues for me using V-ray.
Hope this gets attention!

Cheers
