Dialog popup detected: Title "Render history note"

Deadline
1

Hi,

I just updated Vray to the latest nightly and now I’m getting

Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): RenderTask: Unexpected exception (Dialog popup detected: Title “Render history note”, Message “History note”)

If I log into the renderbox and open the file manually, it renders just fine.

Any ideas?

I added this to the 3dsmax.py:

self.AddPopupIgnorer( “.History note.” )

This didn’t seem to work.

Ok, well that was an easy solve.

The popup handler is case sensitive.

self.AddPopupIgnorer( “.history note.” )
did the trick.

All fixed now!

Thanks for the help!

Glad to hear you were able to figure it out. We’ll also update our internal copy of the 3dsmax plugin so that this popup is ignored out of the box in the next release.

Note that we use regular expressions to match popup titles, which is why it’s case sensitive.

Cheers,

Hi, I’m having the same issue. I just upgraded to Vray 2.0 for 3ds Max 2012 64-bit and I’m getting this “render History Note” popup error. I’ve read the suggested solution but wondered if someone could provide a more detailed set of instructions to fix this? I’ve found the 3dsmax.py file as suggested but have not idea where or how to enter the line of code. Could someone elaborate for me please? Also, do I have to make this change to all render slaves or just my workstation where the job is getting sent from? Thanks

If you just want to zip up and post your 3dsmax.py file, I’ll make the change for you and post it. You can find it in \your\repository\plugins\3dsmax.

Thanks!

Hi Ryan, I’ve attached the file for you. Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the delay in getting this back to you. I was out sick the last couple of days.

Just unzip the attached file to \your\repository\plugins\3dsmax and overwrite the original.

Cheers,
