It happened to me too a time ago, but i figured it was because of all the different cpu's and os's. Didn't have it all the time though. So i tried to create the error. And i did a bit: See the small flicker on the right side of the screen at the beginning of the animation. I used the 2-pass mode on ...

Great mood. Is it WIP, because i think the texturing needs some improvements. And i think the lighting is a bit "flat". Throw in some different colors to make it more appealing. Or you can lower the lightsetting from your lamps, raise the flamesetting and add more blue moonlight falling in.

Oke, the two-pass methode is rendering in 2 passes ofcourse. In the first pass you render you scene at 1 pc only. Set prerender to 100% and turn off anti-aliasing. And set Kray to "Shared for all frames" with the option "Both". You don't have to render every frame, so set your LW...

Nah, 1080 can be rendered fine by one machine. Final print can be impossible to render for LW (or Kray) due memoryadressing. There VirtualRender comes into place.

Here's how you should do it: Twopass animation methode Render with GI mde: Shared for all frames. Set LightWave to render every 10th frame. AA-settings to none. Prerender @ 100%. <<<>>> Now share the GI-file with all other computers. <<<>>> Set prerender to 0%. FG Rays min/max 0. Set AA-settings and...

I thought so too, but i wonder if there is any gain in rendering each single frame of an animation over multiple pc's. I think the load per machine is bigger then the adventage. Most networkrenders distrubute the single frames to different nodes, instead of having all nodes render at one frame. This...

it's halfway the topic.

Just hope this doesn't stop Kray from developping it's own networkrender (as promised). Since VirtualRender costs approx. $300,-

It's a bucketrenderer integrated in lightwave. This mean it splits a single frame over multiple computers to render. Therefore you can render at REALLY high res. So, it's networkrendering for single frames. Can't tell you if it has any benifits for animationrendering (at normal resolutions), since t...

Same here. Just a satisfied customer. As a side comment i want to add: Kray is the only integrated alternative renderer for LightWave. Fprime produces fairly similar results as LightWave. Besides LW-Final Gather and Monte-Carlo (or Fprime) you have no other options then exporting your scene. I've pl...

Florian has made two video's of showing what YOU can achieve with Kray. He shows just opening a scene and press the medium preset and render. That is what everybody can produce. The quality of the scene counts more for the final image then tweaking all the complex settings in kray. Although Kray has...

If you don't believe in this product already. And you don't have a project you can book these costs away on, then you'll might have to wait another year for a demo. So be it. If you use lightwave for your proffession. It might be a risk of buying this plugin. But then again, the costs are low, the g...

That's not true. Fry didn't have a demo until version 1.7 went beta. And even then it took 3 weeks to release a demo. All OB's were only accessable to payed users. Same goes here for Kray. I've got a kraylicense and i can only say i agree on their workflow. I've got to say that i've seen multiple re...

Sure, remodel it yourself.
