    Hi,

    I’m getting an error when I open the Light Lister “–Unable to convert: undefined to type: Float”

    Apparently Verge3D automatically adds options to newly created elements. And it seems that the light lister doesn’t like those options in Vray lights.

    Is there a fix?

    Same here.

    I understand from this forum that Soft8 has no plans to incorporate Vray Support which is a huge hit to us since we really like Verge.
    However, our entire pipeline from design to render farm is Vray.

    Perhaps with Vray Next Version 5 coming out of beta soon, now could be a good time to revisit?

    I certainly hope so.
    We can convert materials, lights, cameras, re-adjust everything, etc. but it is a factor that makes using Verge far less appealing.

    Not to mention that side-lining the significant investment we have made into Vray infrastructure and programming is a bitter pill to swallow for projects that could otherwise have involved Verge.

    Hi folks,

    I’m getting an error when I open the Light Lister “–Unable to convert: undefined to type: Float”

    are using the latest 3.1 version? there were some fixed related to VRay

    Perhaps with Vray Next Version 5 coming out of beta soon, now could be a good time to revisit?

    Agreed that we must seriously consider supporting Vray materials out of the box. Meanwhile you could use one of plugins for automatic VRay->Physical conversion.

    Yep, it looks like there is a bug in VRay. Going to report it as soon as I receive write access to the Chaos Group forums.

    Good news! The bug should be fixed in the latest build of V-Ray Next (build 30203 or above).

    Nice.
    Good news indeed!
    Does this mean vray materials are supported, or vray lights only?
    Thx..

    Currently, it’s only V-Ray lights.

    got it.
    other than the convenience factor is there any advantage to using vray lights?

    Not at all, you better use Photometric lights with Physical Materials or Standard lights with Standard materials. See more here.

    I have just tried verge3d, and then removed, and I now cant access the vray light lister.
    Vray next – 4.30.02
    Guess I need to go up to .03 then!

    #30226

    Yep, try 4.30.03!

    FYI,
    Vray is now up to Vray5 (max only)
