This class will explore the methods of creating new materials that can be added into your scene. Using visual styles, you can immediately see the effects of the materials or you can render the scene to see the full effects.

Once the material has been applied, you will learn how to adjust how the material is mapped to the object. AutoCAD 2013 software provides a library of materials that can be attached to objects. I have seen it crash the moment the render finishes as well, but it also crashes mid-render.AC2067 A material is simply an image stretched over an object to make it appear as if the object is made out of various materials such as wood, marble, brick, metal, plastic, or glass. I will update the new version tonight and give it a go with a model/settings i know that crashed last time. I’ve seen the new vray update, but as I have nightly access some of these updates have not yet solved my issue. Even having reduced the file size of the HDRI it still crashes. I thought I’d narrowed it down a while ago to the HDRI map - when rendering an animation I removed things one at a time unti it stopped crashing and once I’d removed the HDRI, it completed the animation, however it wasn’t what I wanted. It happens with models that are fairly large - I render yacht exteriors and interiors and they are usually +100mb. (I’ve tried logging into the Chaos group forum, but i can’t get posting rights despite following their instructions!) If anyone can help me with this I’d be extremely grateful! Is there anyone I can contact at Chaos/McNeel that can help me work out the cause of my problems? If I send of the crash report I simply get a message back saying it was the fault of vray and the crash report has been forwarded on and that is the last I hear. I can’t work out if it is my computer, the models or the software, but it happens a lot and with different models/scenes.ĭoes anybody else experience crashes like this? What I’m having to do is render the vrlmap and vrmap first then use the Render Window button to produce the image in pieces, save each time it completes in the VRay History and then move on to the next portion. I’m trying to render out some interior views of a yacht, and not only do they take an incredible amount of time with medium quality settings and only at 3000x1800 px, but more importantly Vray & Rhino quit randomly whilst the computer is rendering.
