vray version issue

[Kang Joo]

Hello, the vray version I am currently using is v5.10.20. Does Golaem not currently support that version? If you plan to apply later, I wonder when you will apply.

[Nicolas Chaverou]

Hey there,

You can check the Release Notes to see which version of rendering engines is supported by Golaem

https://golaem.com/content/doc/golaem-crowd-documentation/release-notes

Golaem 7.3.11 supports Vray 5 by default

We haven't tried with Vray 5.1 yet but as it's a minor version, it may work straight away. Probably just try rendering and see what happens :)

Let us know how it goes : if it doesn't work, feel free to share render log and we'll check it out

Best,

I don't think it's working.

I'm currently conducting a related test in the PLE version, but isn't vrscene data selected in the PLE version?

Which version of Golaem are you using ?

If using Golaem < 7.3.11, it's required to install the plugin for Vray 5 to make it work with Vray 5.1

https://golaem.com/content/doc/golaem-crowd-documentation/changing-installed-rendering-plugin-version

Golaem 7.3.11 is already fine

Just tried Vray 5 update 1.1 on my side and it's working fine

Let us know if you have a different behavior on your side

Best,

Copy the vray_glmCrowdVRayXXPlugin plugin from ./procedurals/vray/compatibility/ to ./procedurals/vray/ and rename it to vray_glmCrowdVRayPlugin

Here in this sentence...

vray_glmCrowdVRayXXPlugin --> Where is this thing?

Hey there,

Those files are in the Golaem installation folder

and in the procedurals/vray/compatibility as stated in the doc

On my side

Do I have to use the licensed version of vray when I pull it out with vrscene?

We are testing with a version that is not licensed, but vrscene is exported, but the data does not seem to be recorded

Can you please describe what you're trying to do exactly ?

I'm not really sure what you're expecting

Maybe that's something you need to check with the Chaos people and what their non license version allows

What data are you looking for exactly ?

Is it a process which worked with previous versions of Vray ?

Wrong number of arguments on call to createVRsceneFromProxy

The following errors continue to appear: Is it a plug-in problem related to V-rays?

When are you getting this error exactly ?

The error above is Golaem related but we need to know when / how that happens so we can know how to help fixing it

Can you detail your process is bit more ?

Thanks

I'm in the process of exporting vrscene after making cache. As shown in the document, I checked and set export vrscene in render setting of vray. Then, exporting vrscene results in the following error and the vrscene file is generated, but there seems to be no information.

Are you trying to export the whole scene as vrscene or only the crowd ?

What are the vrscene files for exactly ?

N.

Please refer to the following link.


Additionally, I want to make only Crowd into vrscene.

Because the company pipeline thought one of the data to export to the lighting team was vrscene.

Hey there,

Made a video which shows how to export the vrscene included the crowd cache

https://www.dropbox.com/s/izlitulvbssu01r/vrayExport.mp4?dl=0

Let's first make this work and we'll see after how to only export the crowds

Best,

With reference to the video you sent me, I succeeded in rendering with V-ray in Maya scene.

And I managed to export to vrscene.

When I tested vrscene for rendering by importing it in vray, the following error message came out.

error : V-ray : VRayScene : Preview for Node "particle@node" is not supported [UNKOWN]

error : V-ray : VRayScene : Preview for Node "glmPopulations@node" is not supported [UNKOWN]

error : V-ray : VRayScene : Preview for Node "cacheProxy@node" is not supported [UNKOWN]

error : V-ray : VRayScene : Preview for Node "untitled_renderProxyShape1@node" is not supported [UNKOWN]

The above error message came out and was not rendered. What was the problem?

Those nodes are Golaem locator nodes in the Maya scene and are not renderable

Maybe you can try removing them from the vrscene file and see what happens

Let us know how it goes

Best,

[Kang Joo]

Even if Golaem's Locator node can't be rendered, the crowd geometry can't be rendered either. Let me check again first.

First of all, the error message I left you isn't a big problem, is it?

It should not be an issue for the rest of the rendering

But if you render through Vray, you need to make the Golaem For Vray plugin available to vray

This means setting up the PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH and  VRAY_PLUGINS_x64 environment variables in your system

https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VNS/V-Ray+Standalone+Command+Line+Options

[Kang Joo]

Do I also need to download additional golf for vray? Is there a plug-in that you installed somewhere?

This is the same plugin which is used by Golaem within Maya.

Maybe check the Rendering Workflow help for more information about how procedural rendering within Golaem works

https://golaem.com/content/doc/golaem-crowd-documentation/rendering-workflow

And which environment variables are required and what value you should set them

https://golaem.com/content/doc/golaem-crowd-documentation/environment-variables-list

 

Maybe you can try checking out with your pipeline department at your studio, they should be used to that kind of workflow

Best,
