VRAY Wont render after beta update
« on: January 04, 2012, 10:43:48 PM »
I updated my forest pack to 3.7.3 and now my scene won't render. :-\ When I updated my vray it wouldn't read the proxies, so I installed /reinstalled my previous version of vray.... should I do the same with 3.7.3?

Forest 3.7.3 was compiled using VRay 2.2, but we tested it before releasing and worked fine with VRay 2.0 as well.

What VRay version do you use ?

The scene was created using 21001 and 3.7.2. It was fine. I updated both vray and forest and I was getting the "unhandled exception" I now have removed and /reinstalled the previous versions and can't grab a license for forest pack.... aahhhhh I am getting winsocks error 11004.....

Please, try removing the file ForestVRay20.dll from the Max root folder, next reinstall Forest to be sure the DLL was updated correctly. If it doesn't work, i would suggest to try Forest 3.7.2 again to see if there is some difference.

About the winsocks error, it seems a DNS issue. By some reason, the license server cannot be located in the network by its name. I would try to enter the IP address of the server, instead searching it automatically.

One more question: are you using VRay 2.20.02 or 2.20.01 ?  I think there was some problems fixed in the last udpate...

I have re-installed 2.10.01 and I went back to 3.7.2....... I tried your suggestions with IP and still no license error. >:(

"winsocks 10061, no connection because the target machine actively refused it."

I just wrote in the ChaosGroup site about the VRay issue. I think Vlado would give us more information.

About the license error, it's strange because we have not modified the licensing code in v.3.7.3. I suggest to enable the debug mode in the license server, to see what is happening exactly. The procedure is described here:
