We are working on getting vray 1.5 on our farm here at Frantic, and we can look into fixing this problem when we do.
I’m currently on holidays until the 25th, but when I get back in the office I’ll check the status of our vray 1.5 licenses, and let you know when a fix is available.
We’re hoping in about a month’s time, but that might change. We’re still working out a few issues in the max plugin, so once they’re resolved, we can likely put a patch on the website prior to the official release.
We’ve never seen this problem before. Can you post a simple test scene that reproduces the results? Perhaps the fixes we’ve made for vray might have solved this issue already.
I will like to bump this topic or ask if there is a patch that is already out. I checked the patched download area and it is still not available. We are running into the same problem with 3dsmax8 with vray 1.5. The RGB renders out fine, but passes such as specs gives us black frames. Locally, works perfectly fine.
