XMLDRSpawner.exe has stopped working

[blueskydesigngroup]

Hi,

Having issues with Vray RT for Rhino.

I am running the following (hopefully providing enough info):

Rhino 5 64 Bit SR7
Vray 2.0
ATI FirePro V7800 (Driver version 8.850.7.0 2/06/2011). I have also tried the latest drivers from the AMD website with the same result.

So just to be sure that it isn't my Vray settings, I tried this with a new scene and default settings.

I select GPU OpenCL. The 'Preparing global light manager..." moves to somewhere around 90%, then the DRSpanwer.exe fails.

I've attached a screenshot showing this.

Using CPU works, and strangely using CUDA works but I think then defaults to CPU.

Any ideas???


this is the DRSpawner.exe failure detail..

After updating the driver to the latest non-beta one found on the AMD site (driver version 13.152.4.0), it seems to go further than before but still fails.

See screenshots below:

The chances of this working on AMD cards are pretty minimal - they seem to still have problems compiling the OpenCL code. Even if it works, it would have to be a 64-bit version of the V-Ray render server (not sure if V-Ray for Rhino includes a 32- or a 64-bit version).

Best regards,

I am running 64 bit Rhino and Vray, all latest versions.

Pretty unfortunate that there's no support for AMD. I don't think their market share is *that* low for workstation graphics that it shouldn't happen at some stage.

It's nothing to do with market share, more with their inability to get this working for 2 years now - we've given them all the info and source code that they need, and they know they have issues - unfortunately they don't seem to know how to fix them.

Best regards,
