Title: VRay (Max5) & Voodoo3 PROBLEM
Post by dlc on 27.01.05 at 01:58:44
I got a problem when trying to render under VRay! I have Max5 and VRay 1.45.20. (Max is installed under Windows 98!!)

My machine: Celeron533MHz, MS6168 MoBo with Voodoo3 (8MB) integrated.. 256MB Ram!

When I start rendering it beginnes OK, but it FREEZes when it comes to "Building displacement raycast accelerator" (under Current tasks "line")!!

In the "VRay Messages" box it has notes something like this:
x - render object(s)
y - render instance(s)
z - render light(s)
Rendering frame at time 0
Non-Camera view
Scene setup: 0.0s

and this is when it freezes !!

!! note !! : One glich appeares in the materials section too. All materials exept VRay Mtls are shown OK. Vray materials are shovn just like 100% black sphere!

Please help me if anyone can, coz I don't know what a hell I am supposed to do!!

Of course this MAY NOT have been connected with Voodoo but anyway... Help

p.s. Brazil plug-in works outstanding and all other stuff with Max are OK.

I don't know if this is of any help but I'll mention it in passing- The onboard V3 with 8MB has problems with some programs that the 16MB cards don't.

I have noticed this with both my MSI board and Velocity 100's. It may or may not be an issue, I just mention it as something to bear in mind.
