Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

[proseduction]

I have made a drawing in Sketchup and i was trying to render it, but it won't start rendering. I made a youtube movie of the problem, but there is nothing special to see.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi7qd...=%2526fmt%3D18.

The weird thing is that if I open another design and just push the render button it starts rendering and it does work.

In this design the only materials i included are glass the other ones are the standard sketchup materials. And i use the default settings to render.

The other messages on the forum i saw were all with an error message, but i haven't got any. Hope someone could help!

I have found exactly the same thing happens. I had wondered if it was complexity in a model but even a very simple model does not work.

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

Some older scenes may have some corrupted data in them, or mismatched materials (meaning that some materials either don't appear in the SketchUp material list, or the V-Ray material editor). Try using some of the new Debugging tools:

If none of those seem to help, try posting your error log:

Let us know if you continue to have difficulty.

So i did all the above. I cleaned the txt file and started the process over again. I also uploaded the txt file on my own website. So you can download it and i hope it will help solving this issue. Still the weird thing is that i made this model when the new version was installed. I have made some test files and there it works, but with this one it doesn't.

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

Just looked over your error log.

KeyError: u'/ Translucent_Glass_Gray'

that error tells me that you didn't run the Force Sync for All Materials tool in our debugging menu. Please close SketchUp, open up a fresh instance of SketchUp, load the scene you're having problems with, run the Force Sync tool, and then try to render.

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

I have uploaded a new one where i did use the debug method. Still no luck! I even removed the translucent materials, but this didn't help! Now i am gonna try to remove all materials and see what happens then!

Okay when i removed all materials i got a bugsplat so that also doesn't help.

Perhaps it would be easier to pick this apart if we had the scene here at our office to play with. Would it be possible for you to give us a copy of the offending scene?

Rapid share is horrible, we don't have or want a paid account. You can take that file down, since we have no way of obtaining it from that site. Could you please send us a bug report about this? Just send an email to vfswip@asgvis.com (note to anyone that reads this: please don't just send stuff here unless we know about it, otherwise we might not look at it for a while... like a month... or five). That way we can continue this conversation off of the forum, so you don't have to share anything publicly.

There is a free download option - you have to wait 30-60 seconds first though.

Except more and more often the "free" servers are down these days. : >

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

Yes i can agree on the free issue of rapidshare. I used the email to sent the skp aswell as the error log. I hope you canuse it.

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

Yes, we have received the files you sent us. We are currently investigating the issue, and will let you know what we find.

That is what i get from the log after i try Rendering a couple times. I am using fastrender preview .visopt. sometimes it renders very very quickly and it looks great. Other times it says its rendering the scene and the Framebuffer never comes up. And when i click it, it then discontinues the rendering.

I have tried debugging numerous times but it did address the bigger issue.

I really cant talk much more about it because i am just so confused as to why it is all happening. I will continue to model and texture my file but i do hope i can send it your way to have the team take a look?

Let me know if this is a possibility.

Many times my error log will also display things similar too...

Re: Rendering doesn't start (new version of V-ray)

I received a message from the team that there we're two new bugs I had discovered! (Lucky me) The first one they were able to explain. That was when there are / in the name of the material it was not able to render.

The other issue was to complicated for them to explain. So i can't tell you what that issue was... I hope this could help you with your rendering.
