Hey all...I've been asking for help over at the Sketchup forums regarding an issue I've been having. I've finally tracked it down to VRay and was wondering if I could get input here.
Fist, I'm a PC noob, SU noob and V-Ray noob - the tri-fecta! So please be patient. I'm pretty good with software and systems, just been on Mac's.
Here's the issue. As soon as I open V-Ray panel and apply a texture, the system starts slowing down dramatically. I had the issue with another model I was working on and tried all sorts of problem tracking. Decided to start a new model and sure enough, the minute I added a V-Ray material, it slowed the system down to a crawl - at periods. Basically, for who knows what reason, the system will hang (showing the blue ball thing) and, now with experience, I just have to wait it out about 5-8 minutes (get to play a lot of Backgammon on my iPad). It then releases the program and I can keep working. At some other indeterminate time (but usually inside of 20 minutes) the blue ball will show up again...another break (wish I smoked). And so it goes the rest of the time. Doesn't matter what I'm working on, just happens. Interestingly, the condition includes the Outliner going haywire by items disappearing in the window and things reappearing and moving around. Another associated condition is that the file also takes 5-10 minutes to save vs the usual 4 seconds (only 15k KB model).
I've already tried all the usual solutions (uninstall and reinstall as admin, delete ALL extensions, etc. etc. etc.). Still happens.
Again, this only happens when I start adding VRay textures. Before that it works beautifully and no issues. The minute I open that panel and start applying textures is a whole 'nother story.
I'm on V-Ray 3.60.02 Build 1241
Windows 10 Pro (latest update)
System:
Intel Core i9-7960X (16 core) - NOT Overclocked
ASUS Prime X299-A ATX
64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 3200 (using XMP in Bios) ....I've also tried it will all BIOS to factory settings - no go.
Drive 1 - Samsung 1TB 960 EVO m.2 NVMe SSD
Drive 2 - Seagate 4T BarraCuda Pro 7200 SATA III
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid Gaming (Not overclocked)
Corsair RMx Series RM750X 750W PSU
Corsair Hydro Series H115i PRO RGB CPU Liquid Cooler
ASUS MG28UQ 28" FreeSync 4K Monitor
Brand new build, all drivers are latest. All other software is not a problem (Blender, Unreal Engine 4, etc.).
So - I am begging for help. How do I make V-Ray work? At this point I'm ready to uninstall it and start using Enscape instead even though it doesn't touch V-Ray's rendering quality.
Thanks in advance for any help.
