Maya 2015 / Vray issues

Hi

Is anyone else having issues with Maya 2015, and Vray? Mental Ray’s working very happily for us, and our test projects render well with Vray when loaded manually onto the render nodes.

Sample log output below. Any ideas appreciated.

Many thanks

Tom

Did you reboot after installing VRay for 2015?

It doesn’t always pick up the env vars

Yeah, if any of the Deadline applications were running when you installed VRay (including the Launcher), they wouldn’t have picked up the environment changes made during the install. A reboot of the machine is the best way to ensure that everything gets “refreshed”.

Cheers,
Ryan

Yes, that worked. I was thrown off because Maya 2014 was working faultlessly. If only every issue was solved as easily!

Thanks to you both

Tom
