Rendering problem

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

Hello, I have a problem with rendering from scratch in MAX. I use VRay 1.5 SP1 64 and MAX 2008 64. I made a simple scene as an example to show what is going on. After hitting Render Light Cache calc. phase looks OK. But then all buckets are grey and as output I get grey rectangle. The only way I can use VRay now is to open some old scene, save it with new name, delete all objects, merge new scene.
Help me please.

Hi! Seems deleting of 3dsmax.ini solved the problem!

…but just for a while… After deleting 3dsmax.ini I did test render with fresh scene and everything was OK. Then I set MAX to my working configuration, tryed some renders - OK. Now I made fresh scene and problem is back. Strange thing is that it renders VRAy sky… But no geometry… I´m realy disappointed…

i think the problem is with your physical camera. Did you check exposure on it?
Try rendering without physical cam, just max camera, and standart lights, see if you get anything.

Thanks Dmitry. First image is standard max camera with sky dome made as new scene. The second image is exactly same camera and geometry merged to fresh scene made after deleting 3dsmax.ini. In that scene I can do whatever I want, use any type of camera and light and it always renders well. I think Vray has problem with some setting in max.

You don’t have the Max exposure on in the environment tab do you?

AT LAST!!! Yes! It was exposure control. With no exposure control it works well.
Thak you RErender.
