V-Ray V-Ray for Rhino Issues
1

Hello everyone, I have experienced very frustrating problem. Lately my model freeze for several minutes whenever I load new texture from our cloud disc. If I open older model with textures already in it, model is frozen for 30 minutes easily. My workflow is screwed, I wait for every step and it is killing me.

notes:
-some of models were created on my previous (much slower) computer and they were running just fine
-those models worked fine on this computer well enough just few weeks ago, no changes were made and it started to freeze upon start
-loaded textures are not small, but not that large aswell (10-100 Mb)
-network usage is every time on 100%, which means I exchange data with our server by ±90 Mb/s. Even very large textures sould not take more that souple of seconds. Whole scene is about 1GB, that should not take more than 15 sec…
-if I use rhino material, not vray material, it takes only few seconds to load

my PC:
-Intel(R) Core™ i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz
-80 GB RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

used software
-Rhino 6
-Vray 3.60.04

Edit 1:
-I have exported whole scene to local disc and it got loads faster (to the original speed), whole ca 1,2 GB scene with textures and proxies loaded in about 4-5 seconds and runs smoothly after that

Edit 2:
-when I run Rhino in safe mode and open said file from cloud disc, it runs smoothly (if you can call safe-mode rhino smooth…)

So, after lots and lots of vulgarities I came to conclusion, problem is hardware related. It seems, there was some sort of issue in the cable, so although lot of data came through, data was corrupted. Once I have changed cable problem disappeared. Only thing that troubles me is: why did it work when I have placed texture in Rhino material, bud when I have assigned texture to Vray material scene froze…

Anyway, if you experience this problem, first, check your cable and maybe your network card.

Edit: How do I close a thread and flag this answer as solution?
