  • Vray takes forever to load

    Hi Guys,

    I have just downloaded the latest demo version of vray to try with sketchup 7.

    When i tried out up my old vray scenes from sketchup 6, and convert them to work with the new version of vray. when i hit the render button it takes about 15-20mins before anything happens and the render box to appear.

    I know with the latest version of vray all the materials are automatically linked to the material editor?? could this be the problem.

    although I have completely purged all my materials in both sketchup and the material editor, and have tried the remove C-G materials plugin.

    I have a quadcore with 4Gb of ram so my machine shouldnt be a problem, with sketchup 6 and the older version of vray the render box would come up almost imediately.

    Or is there just a problem with converting older scenes??

    Not sure if anybody elese has found the same problem.

    Thank you very much.

    Will

    How big is the model? How much of the file size is geometry as opposed to maps?

      The file size is a small model buts its 80Mb.



      but when i used to run it with the older version of vray and sketchup, it used to start the render process almost immediately.

      it also takes time when i run my smaller older files about 20Mb. its so frustrating i am hoping, that its just a problem with converting older versions, and that when i work on one from scratch i dont have the same problem.

      with the older version my machine could handle files up to 150Mb

      Weird!

        Hi Will - good to see you back.

        It is a while now since the new version of vray was launched, but if I remember rightly it does take quite a bit longer to sort out its parsing (or something) before you actually see anything happening. However, overall it seems just as fast as it ever was - certainly with new projects.
