It seems that FormZ scenes do not respect Vray light settings - for example, if I want to create a scene showing a different sun position the Scenes do not respect the new lighting. Is there any way around this?

I've lost Vray too - trying to install on my new PC and FormZ is ok but when it start it doesn't search for plugins and Vray does not show up.

Hi, I'm having a few small problems with Vray as follows: 1. The "image autosave" is not working. The images are not saved. 2. The "V-ray messages" window is not working properly. At the end it normally lets you know how log the render took. At the moment this is not working. 3. The "V-ray messages" window has options at the bottom including "write log file". This does not appear to be working - where should I look for this log file. These are not big problems but it would be good to get them sorted out. Has anyone else experienced the same?

Yep, Ok, that does make sense

Why is that Justin? It saves me time if it works, C

Actually, it has started to save the log file for now - I'm not sure why - will have to investigate

Hi, I think it would be great if we could group Views in the same way that we can group Layers or Materials - eg lots of exterior, interior, bedroom, bathroom group etc, thanks, Chris

Hi, I always end up with hundreds of views which is unwieldy. If there can can be groups for Layers etc then why could there not be Groups for Views as well? Then for instance I could render all my interior views overnight without wasting a lot of time try to sort or rename them. Thanks, Chris

And for "Scenes" as well, I should have said:)

I got it from the Support people at FormZ

Hi artyboy64, Yes, for me the animations are now working although I can't stop it once its started, other than by using task manager to crash FZ. I'm using the following versions: - FZ v8.6.3.1 Build 10163 - Vray v3.6.3.3 Build 1241 Dec 13 Hope that helps! Best regards, Chris

Thanks John, I'm using : FormZ - Version 8.6.3.1 Build 10163 VRay - Version 3.6.3.1 Build 1221 Wndows 10 - i5, 3.1GHz, 8Gb RAM When I hit the "Generate Animation" button the little window pops up but no image appears in it. Eventually it says (Not Responding), then some time later it crashes and FormZ dissappears from the screen - completely! However, I did find (completely by accident) in my FormZ Folder a file named "formZAnimFrame.bmp" which is a picture of the first frame of the animation that should have been produced (but its not the file name that I setup). All other modes of animation are working - wireframe, renderzone etc. Anyway, I will keep trying I suppose, maybe with a new FZ model... Cheers, Chris

Thanks Andrew, I've started to do that - and its fine, but its also nice to be able to say this is what the room looks like at say 7am on a certain day which you could easily do with renderzone and FZ, mind you - the daylighting of the room may not been as realistic...

Hello, I've just started testing V-Ray and getting some interesting results. However, a number of things seem not to work including the sun position - change the time of day slider has no effect on the shadows in my renderings. Am I missing something? I've searched the Forum but I can't find an answer to this problem. Thanks in advance for your help, Chris

Hi John, Are you still able to generate an animation? I have given up trying to use Imager and now I trying an animation. I am using FZ 8.6.3.1 and every time I try to do the animation with VRay - just two frames (on the draft setting smallest image size) it crashes after about a minute. Thanks in advance for any tips, cheers, Chris

Hello, I'm new to Vray and trying at the moment to get Imager working - it appears to work but then crashes after a minute or two - has anyone been able to successfully use it? I've tried slightly different settings about 20 times now:(

Hi Snow, thanks for that - and yes, I discovered this and it does work. As for Image needing an overhaul Asone, I don't think it does really - it just needs to work. Its always nice to have some new features but its more important to be able to get your work done - as you could in the past.

Hi, I know this was discussed last year but I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution yet? Imager is an essential part of my workflow - I normally leave a series of renders to complete overnight but now only the first render in the series works. Can anyone help? Thanks, Chris

Thanks Asone, but is there a way to remove the latest updates so that I can use it again:)? I would rather go back to version 7 than not be able to use it.
