R2D2

Fixed by installing previous version of Vray.

like this ?

It never occurred to me that I had to click on set devices, but it did not work, it is asking for root privileges but even running FZ as root did not work. On fresh install again it appears that librt_cuda.so is installed directly in "V-Ray for formZ" but Vray is looking for it in the "plugins" folder inside of "V-Ray for formZ". I´ll send an email. Thx

Hello world. No one ? @Tech: can you confirm this working for you ?

Thanks Justin, point taken but I would rather stay on macOS. Usually Tech at least replies something along the lines of „this is working fine here“ , or „yes there is an issue“. And apparently there are not many people left using OSX/Vray/Nvidia/FZ thanks to Apples policies. Using Vray without GPU defeats the point, and so I hope someone can come up with either „this works: user error“ or „this works using OSX version X.xx...“; at this point I just cant render and its been two weeks. But who knows next thing you know Thea comes back using AMD and Vray is dumped.... happy holidays.

Please Tech - anything I can at least try to get this going again ? How can I convince librt_cuda.so to load properly ?

I ended up reinstalling everything from scratch: latest High Sierra, latest CUDA and Nvidia drivers, latest FZ and Vray. Does not work still. Light caches and merging works , but once "rendering" starts its garbled. No toon shader, just new file, Material 1 (white). I get a vray error in the log which seems to be the whats causing it. (librt_cuda.so) I can run the Vray benchmark fine. What to do next ?

Anyone else ? reinstalling Vray and thrashing FZ prefs did not help. screenshot from a blank new file:

That should be correct. You can test a section at half height: the resulting hexagon then has equal length segments. (For a built example house google "Piet Blom cube house")

right - I forgot doing that...

Thanks for the tip Andrew, after unchecking "Hybrid" this produced one image using "progressive, use GPU, Framebuffer". But just once - now it does not work again. After "building light cache" all is scrambled again. Only CPU rendering works but this takes ages compared to GPU... I also thrashed my prefs but it didnt help so back to setting all shortcuts, UI etc. Annoying to say the least...

"VR Spherical Panorama: Spherical camera with independent horizontal and vertical FOV selection that is useful for generating latlong images for spherical VR use. Stereo: Enables or disables the Stereoscopic rendering mode. Stereoscopic images will be rendered “side-by-side” or “one on top of the other” based on the Output Layout option. You do not need to re-adjust the image resolution as it will adapt automatically." This from the manual - I cant get it to work, a preview showing the panorama starts when I hit render, but on the next iteration everything is just garbled pixels... any hints ?

Has anyone succeded in using the clipper to render a building in section (as with "clipping planes") so that all cut objects are assigned a colour ? (i.e. everything sectioned is red ) Cant get this to work... any hints ? "Use object material" (or unticking it) does not work it seems. This from the manual: Material: Specifies the material used by the clipper. This option is not accessible unless the "Use object material" setting is disabled. ..does not appear in the tool options. Also under "attributes" I only get this:

No - since I have replaced colours from the dwg to render materials. Reimporting brings in all dwg colours again.
