Chaos Scatter Stopped working

[dubsyman_sousand]

Hello

I have a few chaos scatters , I can see them in the viewport but none of them render anymore. They render in CPU , does GPU not support Chaos Scatter?


Using max 2024 and Vray 6.2
Thanks

So the help says its supported,

I have reinstalled and also tried it in a simple test scene but nothing is rendering for me.

Hi dubsyman_sousand

Indeed, Chaos Scatter is supported on VRayGPU - sorry to hear you are facing issues.
Can you recall if Scatter worked on GPU in the past or this is the first time you are actually trying to run a GPU render with Scatter? I also have a few other questions:

1. Do you receive any errors in the render log when when starting the GPU render? If so, can you copy-paste them here?

2. Have you ever had Chaos Corona installed on this machine?

3. Are there any other user profiles on this machine? Any special characters (non-latin) in the username?

4. Can you try to uninstall V-Ray + Scatter again and make sure any leftover files are removed:

C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\Scatter\3ds Max 20xx;
C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\3ds Max 20xx;
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\VRay3ds Max20xx;
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ChaosGroup\V-Ray for 3ds Max 20xx;
any Chaos Scatter leftovers from old installs in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 20xx\Plugins,

then run the V-Ray 6 installer again?

Hi

Yes it did work in the past, I had all these trees and bushes setup in it.

I only have this warning in the log
] Warning : EdgesTex/RoundedCorners is not supported through procedural texture

• Corona is installed but in trial mode I was using it to convert some textures.
• The latest change I did was I installed vray for houdini.
• I dont have any special character profiles.
• will try clean reinstall .

Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting. Please try to uninstall your Chaos Scatter from Windows program files and after that reinstall V-Ray. There is a similar issue discussed here.
