(fixed)[HOU-2050] Vray Environment Network Bug

V-Ray V-Ray for Houdini Issues
1

Hi,

I am using a texture as Environment Background in the Vray Environment Node. I change the settings so its not visible in the reflection. Local rendering works fine. After saving the frame to a vrayscene and render it in the farm the reflection is back.
Scene File that shows the issue is attached.

Is the farm using Standalone shipped with VFH?

The vray plugin in Deadline is configured to points to this version of vray:

Our Houdini Workstations are configured to get vray from the same directory.

We export vrscene Files from Houdini and submit vray Jobs manually in Deadline.

VFH is VrayForHoudini ?:slight_smile: So I think yes it is ?

Hey @Jon3D ,

I’ve reproduced the problem and logged it in our tracker. As a workaround, you can plug a V-Ray Color VOP into the “reflection” input of the environmentSettings node, and set the Color parameter to black.

Best regards!

Okay thank you. Yes we did that already :wink:

Hi @Jon3D , problem is fixed in last nightly build.

Ehm…is it possible that it doesn´t work at all anymore? I´m using “18_0_499_5401ba8_7831” and I´m not able to display any texture at all.

@chakarov may I ask you to check that again ? Thank you.

Sorry for that, I’ll rebuild nightlies now (but you’ll need to turn on “Use Background” anyway).

Background Image works again. Thank you.
