iCube R&D Group Support Forum

Hi there, Chaos Group ages ago added support to freeze transforms on a proxy object in Maya. Basically, if you had a proxy and it was say, 10x too large in size, you could scale it to .1 and apply Modify > Freeze Transforms and then Maya would reset the scale to 1. This object would then render corr...

Fixed! Thank you very much.

Thanks, I tried 2.3 option last night. But there's a fatal error when translating scene even with iCube's example scenes.

No rush though, I'm happy to wait for the bugfix.

Thanks for checking bdancer - your render is exactly what I was after. I just redownloaded and reinstalled VrayPattern for Maya 1.1.0 then, same render result unfortunately. One thing that may be of help is that I chose the Nightly option in the installer. [2013/Apr/2|22:19:20] V-Ray: V-Ray for Maya...

Sweet, thanks for the update! Fixes those issues I posted about earlier. Several test are good for me, but one last thing, I've spent a while on trying to get a particular test scene to work but have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to make a basic fence. fence.zip I have set the crop box 1c...

Renable the cube and V-Ray will render. You can also reproduce the error with display layers and hiding...

Hi bdancer, if you make an instance of "lomandraLongifolia:grassClump1Main_proxy" does it still render ok for you? That is when the crash happens for me.

The scene will render ok as long as there is no instance present.

No problem, haha yes I tried to participate but a combination of lack of time and that I was originally using Maya 2013.5 did not permit it unfortunately. However I understand the complexity of these plugins and time required to write them and am happy to help out if I stumble upon any bugs. VrayPat...

Hello again :) I have found a fatal error when rendering VRayScatter and 3.1.0. Maya 2013x64 and V-Ray nightly. Please see attached scene. All you have to do is first relink the vrmesh and instance it once to cause a crash. Delete the instance and it'll render OK. (PS another crash in the scene, tur...
