I have Viz 2007 on my machine with SP 1 installed. I have got Vray 1.5 R3 installed now, and am having to use the software dongle.
Now I received the software dongle a while ago, but have only just switched over to 1.5 due to current jobs etc..
I have managed to get everything up and running in viz, all the plugins load correctly, and I can go to the render dialogue where I choose my renderer.
However, when I choose, “assign render” and get the list of 3, as soon as I choose Vray 1.5, I get a crash, unhandled exception and chucked out with the option of saving my file.
OK.. Obviously I may not have explained this very well..
I have been using Vray 1.47 with Viz 2006. I have not upgraded sooner as 1 job was running into another etc.. and some continuity was needed.
I made my application for a dongle way back last year.. Still not received one yet, but gather a lot of people havent.
So, I am trying to use the software dongle that was emailed to me. Now, I have got the main Vray 1.5 r3 for Max 8, as I understand this is the one for Viz 2007.
Viz starts up OK.. all the plugins load no problem, and Viz starts up as I would expect. The problem starts when I open the render dialogue tab, and go to the “assign renderer” roll out.
I get presented with the usual 2, MR and the VNU ( i think..) renderer, and the now new Vray 1.5. I can choose the other 2 without error. But when I choose the Vray 1.5, it starts to change to that renderer, but before it finishes loading, I get a main Viz crash, with an unhandled exception, a chance to save any work, and then chucked out..?
I have no clue what is causing it.. If anyone does have any clues or things I could try, I would greatly appreciate it..
With RC3, there is no need to copy any cgauth.dll over the installation. If you reinstall V-Ray and choose the “software licensing” option it will be fine.
