Hey guys, I am having troubles with reusing the irradiance maps… I calculate the lightcache using camera path… I calculate the irradiance using animation (prepass)… but then VRay can’t load the irradiance files. I can see them in the folder, but it seems like VRay is having a hard time finding the directory. Instead of using the files location, ( W:\Light\Test\irr map.vrmap ) it uses:
W:\#recycle\Light\Test\irr map0000.vrmap
I need some help with this… any ideas? Has anyone seen this?
Thank yoU!

Weird. I thought it might mean it was in prepass mode, but clearly it’s in rendering mode.
Thanks for the input, I have some moving objects and want vray to interpolate over a few frames so set it to animation (rendering)… I actually think I am pretty close to figuring it out… doesn’t seem to be vray at all. Looks like it might be caused by my synology server…
Which V-Ray version is this? Can you reproduce the issue on a simple scene? It will be helpful if you could send us the scene to: support@chaosgroup.com
Also do you render locally on one machine and is W: drive a mapped drive? Moreover, if you change this path to C: in example do you get the same error?
I was actually having this exact same problem on one of my slaves but with the LC map about an hour ago. I just updated to the latest stable build and it fixed the issue…
edit: I had a slightly different vray log message so it might not be the same issue…
Hey guys, I have solved this for now! Thanks for the help and replies… it turned out that the problem was with my Synology DS1815+… when it creates the recycle bins on the server it names them “#recycle” … for some reason vray is attracted to this location and therefore the path to load the irr map fails. I turned off the recycle bin option, deleted the folder it had created and now everything is as smooth as butter. Fantastico.
Thanks again! but I think I am good for now. Cheers.
Glad to hear that James and thanks for updating the topic with your solution.
