can't get VRayTranslator and standlone render to work

V-Ray V-Ray for Nuke General
1

I am trying to export a vrscene file to render in standalone Vray but can’t get it to work.
Here is what I did:

  • I attached the node to my VRayRenderer node.
  • I exported a single frame vrscene file to my local SSD drive
  • I set an output image path in the imgFile field to /local2/test.exr

The “Render in V-Ray Standalone” button was disabled so I added this path to the V-Ray standalone location field:
/opt/vray_3.60.01/Nuke_10.5/vray_std/vray.bin

After that the button became enabled but when I press it nothing happens, though I see this error in the terminal (despite having set the path manually):
/opt/vray_3.60.01/Nuke_10.5/vray_std/vray: line 3: [PLUGINS]/vray.bin: No such file or directory

When I copy paste the command line from the “Others” group into the terminal I get a black frame and Vray says there are 0 objects and 0 lights in the scene, even though there shoudl be 1 object and 2 lights. output attached in a separate.
The Nuke script and obj are also attached (the obj is temp, don’t judge me :wink: ).

I am keen to try this workflow to see if I can use my GPU to speed up rendering compared to rendering through Nuke.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
frank

Hey,

Did you do a zip install? Your vray plugins are not loading correctly.

Check this page how to install that correctly - V-Ray for Nuke

The Standalone button stays grey until there is a vrscene loaded or the vray standalone is not at it’s default location.

Just tested your scene on both Windows and Linux and it’s working correctly.

Ok, thanks. I did do a zip install but must have missed something I will double check.

Thanks,
frank

Perfect, thank you. I had completely overlooked the last two steps at the bottom of the page for zip installation.
