Black window

[andrewjohn81]

I must be doing the same thing wrong.

Active shade pops up and says "V-Ray RT DEMO 320x240 max resolution for demo"

no vray.exe in task manager.

I have render res set at 320x240, and I made the perspective window really small. I just can't get it to do anything.
vrlservice.exe is running, but that's it.

this is in max2010 in WinXPx64

Also, in the Task Manager, do you see a process called "vray.exe" running?

Ok then, which OS are you using?

Do you see a command-line window in the task bar with the V-Ray RT render server?

No, even though inside the active shade view port is says "Starting local render server (done)"

but... it stop at "Waiting for image data..." and remains black (i only have 1 teapot in the scene)

Running on MAX 9 64bit - i got past the viewport size so i can see the messages and that it sends the scene out to the local render server

but... it stop at "Waiting for image data..." and remains black (i only have 1 teapot in the scene)

Nothing changes when I reduce the size of both the viewport and popout active shade. You mentioned set rt resolution, where is this located? The only thing printed in the window is "V-Ray RT Demo 32x 240 max resolution for demo".

Five minutes later: Seems to work now. Had to popout activeshade window for it to reset/fix. Thanks for the help

this most likely. had same issue until i set rt resolution to 320x240

Can't seem to get anything besides a black window with no errors (with the demo). Running max 2010. I tried to launch the vray RT server and that has no errors either. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Is there any message printed in the ActiveShade view?
