Hmm thanks guys, I'll try these things later today and hope they work..
Thanks for the input yet again!

Hmm interesting, but was that with a premade and shared GI file, or can that be made/updated on the fly in a single pass?

Thanks for that swift reply Silverw, maybe you can help me with trying to render it in different passes? So whatever option I take in Kray (surfaces panel etc), the image takes me about 10 minutes, whereas it was around 3 minutes without the trees. So I am trying: 1) Render the scene in Kray with th...

So I got a couple of trees here in a arch viz scene, (trees made by Pawel's excellent plugin). But as stated on these forums before, they don't quite render quickly in Kray.. It seems that alot of rays are fired into the leaves.. I am trying to use the new surface shader panel to get those specific ...

Hmm.. that's too bad. Perhaps he should

Might help sales too, if people can read if and how it works...

No idea, but really interested in it too.. so just to add support to your request

Hmm I can't share this one, since I am not allowed to share the object in question which has the normal map.

If you say it works for you, I'll try some other basic object later when I get the time.. if I still get issues I'd happily share that one... thanks!

Anyone that can shed some light on the way VirtualRender works together with Kray on an animation using a renderfarm?

I suppose there is no shared GI file in this case? So no speed gain... or is there?

Any info would be great... lil tutorial ?
Thanks!

Does it?

I tried a nodal normal map on a character here and it works fine in Fprime and LW itself but Kray can't seem to get it rendered (either it just stalls rendering, or it gives a black band right where the specific character was)..

On LW 9.2 and Kray OB 6..

Hmm thanks for trying... I haven't figured it out yet.. made a new scene, uninstalled Maxwell and tried some other stuff.

I'll live with it for now then untill I get some more time to put into this..

Ah sure, and the version is 9.2

Can't really figure out what's going wrong...

Hmm.. just made a simple setup to test a few things.. but it goes wrong right away.. :| So I got this scene and the main light is a bit behind and to the right of the camera. When I have all materials to say 80% diffuse and all the rest off, I get this: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2743/testof...

Hmm nice info there Haven!

I will need a Kray animation again soon, so I'm happy you delved into this

NiGMa: the error I described would not happen on 1 node.. at least I never noticed.

I'll test it more thoroughly later again. Seems that I need to do another long render run in some time.

If the only solution is making sure there are no splotches te start with, that will be time consuming

I had the showing yesterday and slept straight after. At work now.. so a shot later. What you say Erwin makes sense, but NiGMa and I did just that. Make sure the nodes have the same GI file. I am very sure I didn't make a mistake there. Please make a test and check, in that test however, make sure t...
