Vray demo - presets not loading at all.

Hi there.

I recently downloaded and installed the V-Ray Demo 1.50.17. I thought it was great until I realized all your settings vanish whenver you save your file. Then someone told me that you can save your settings as a preset before you save and load them in again after.

I can save the presets just fine. I go to the preset dialog, write in a name and select what settings I want to save and press save. A file “vray.cfg” gets made and it contains my saved settings so everything is working there.

But when I press load nothing at all happens. No feedback whatsoever.

I’m not trying to avoid buying Vray, but it would just be nicer to be able to test it on a more complex scene and not just quick test scenes I don’t care whether I save or not.

According to someone I asked they can save and load presets just fine with the demo. Do they have an older version of the demo and this has been disabled in a newer version or is it something on my side that’s broken?

Thanks in advance.

Settings take about 5 minutes to setup from memory anyway - you could always just screenshot them or write them down.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. :slight_smile:

I hit load and let it sit there for 30 minutes and still nothing. How can it even take more than 0,1 sec? It’s just loading in a small .cfg-file.

But if you say it take that long then I won’t bother with it. I’ll just try and avoid saving too often, kind of goes against everything I’ve been thought, but ohh well. :stuck_out_tongue:

If it’s going to work, it’s pretty much instant.

Does it reset the settings after every save or just when you quiet and re-load?

I think the loading of presets is disabled in the demo version. Will try to get this updated for the SP2 demo.

Best regards,

Presets don’t load with official SP2 either. I can check that vray.cfg has all settings but loading just don’t load the settings.

If I remember correctly there was some years ago a bug handling different decimal symbols. In Europe many countries use “,” instead of “.”.

And I tested this and this is a bug still in SP2. If you set system decimal symbol to “.” it will work but not if it is “,”.
