Hello
Can someone confirm if this?
I have a plane with a box on top and a light source.
I want the plane to be matte (-1) and the box to cast a shadow on this matte.
If the shadow brightness is bellow 1 they disapear in all render nodes but not in the workstation that submited the job and where the manager is located.
If brightness is 1 then all machines render the shadows.
Can someone confirm this bug??
Thanks
what version of vray?
also are there any maps in the scene? maybe an ies light?
Hi.
No materials.
I just made a matte plane (receiving shadows that affect alpha) and set the brightness to something bellow 1.
Put a box on top and a light source and send it to backburner.
Only this machine render the shadows, the nodes don’t.
If brightness is 1 all node render the shadows.
Can someone verify this?
I don’t know what’s causing this…
Is it something connected with the “.” “,” problem ?
I will check that out too.

Well, exactly as we supposed ! The problem is not in V-Ray, but that
“.” “,” decimal sign. Make sure all your render nodes are set with “.”
Then the rendering is going fluently with brightness of the matte set below 1.0.

Hi.
I forgot about that issue.
Nevertheless I already changed de decimal separator but the problem persists.
Did anyone reproduced this error?
Thanks
Hm, strange :shock:
I could make it wrong and correct via BB. The difference was only the .
BTW, which BB is this ?

sorry…BB?
Bounding Box, Brigitte Bardot??

BB = supposed to mean BackBurner.
Here are some other V-Ray / MAX abbs

ah..
I’m using BB 2.3
I tried opening max in a node and netrender from there.
The node renders fine and all others don’t, including this worstation that was working in the previous situation.
Any ideas? 
I tested it in BB 3, MAX 8, SP3

humm…I’m a bit afraid of moving to max8.
What’s worst is that max8 can’t save as max7…only 3ds :?
Anyone willing to check this issue on max7? Please?
Thanks
Ok…got it 
Well…forgot that I have two users in the windows login
Changing the decimal separator in the correct one solved it.
Sorry…I’m not as fast as I would like hehe
Good to hear that !
