IES light crashes the vray 3.5 rendering

V-Ray GPU V-Ray GPU :: General

Hi all,

Just solved the activeshade VFB problem. I tried to put some Vray IES light as usual for my scene and an error comes up saying “error: [VRayRMax::renderThreadProc] Exception occurred in rendering thread.”
Didn’t have this problem in my 3.4 version. Is it a setting thing I need to check? Thank you!

There is a bug in RT CPU and GPU we missed in this release related to IES lights. The next patch which we are going to release (3.50.04) will fix it.

thank you!

Hi Tashko, we’re getting the same error here after upgrading from 3.50.01 to 3.50.03 and I can’t find any way to downgrade to the beta release again.

Has the ies fix already been implemented in the nightlies. If so then can we gain access (I emailed with a nightly request back in December for access but never heard anything back)

Thanks

Yeah would be great to get this ies bug fixed asap as we basically can’t use RT at the moment… we use ies lights in pretty much every scene.

Any idea when the release that fixes this bug will be available?

same here! gotta use ies lights for all of our commercial projects…now they’re on hold…
hope we will get the new release asap!

We are working on the new update right now but I’m not able to provide information about the actual release date. So in case that this bug is a production stopper for you please drop us an email to support at chaosgroup.com for stable nightly access.

Can you give me the ticket number you have received from our system?

Thanks for coming back so quickly Tashko.

I have just submitted a ticket request now (downgrading to 3.4 doesn’t at this stage to be playing ball either so hopefully the nighlties are a quick stable fix): I didn’t receive a support ticket number last time (looking back the email was sent to vlado at chaosgroup.com on 19/1/2016)

Hope this helps.

This is the support ticket number from this morning:

Is it fixed in 3.50.04 because I don’t see it in the changelog ?

Yes, it should be fixed with that version. Let us know if you encounter any issues.
