V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

q1:

0.001 for qmc in ver. 1.47 was a really good setting, now in 1.5, do i have to use 0.001 further, or is 0.01 now the “magig” number?

q2:

i cant dr in 1.5 get to work with the software-dongle & viz2005.
vray runs fine on my client-machinein single mode, also i dont have to start
the vraylicence-server, as i had to in 1.47 (think this is the software-dongle-thing?).
also, without starting the the lic.-server, my server wont get a
licence and keeps on restarting untitled.max.
so, if i try to start the vraylic. on the client, its looking for the wibu-box without success.

any ideas? 1.47 was working fine.

0.001 for the old QMC sampler would translate roughly to 0.005 for the new one.

hey thx for the quick responce vlado and the “roughly” qmc settings :smile:

renderslaves are patched too.

dont i have to start the vray-licence-server?

how ever. doesnt work. :frowning:

Since the “virtual dongle” is nothing more than the old licensing system with the license key, it should work exactly in the same way as it did then (e.g. you need the old VRLServer.exe, and not the new one which requires a donlge).

thx vlado, i will try this.

so, i need the old vrlserver.exe on machine A and the new? vrayspawner.exe on machine B? or the old vrayspawner?

The spawner hasn’t changed, so the old one should be ok.
If however you experience any problems, please let us know.

doesnt work and “feels” like the old viz problem.
a few day before, with 1.47, all worked fine. installed 1.5 over
and now, spawner open and closes max, not named vraydummie, for ever :frowning:
maybe waiting for the dongle will help… :cry:

sounds like the max8 BB3 problem

Are you able to render with backburner on that machine?

Best regards,
Vlado

yes, backburner is working. no da_elf, no max8. only viz05. btw. 1.47 was working fine.

Hi,
Viz needs:
1. vrayspawner.ini
2. resave the excisting maxdummy.max with a new one.
3. take an old .xml-file from backburner\Network\Jobs\, rename it vraydummy.xml and overwrite the new one in Viz root.

Should work…
