Wolrajh Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hello there, So I'm back on a V-ray project, and I have to scatter a few impact-like VDBs. I was thinking of going the traditionnal way, getting the point cloud, adding instancepath / instancefile, with a made up string including the much needed offset. Classic, right ? My issue is that I just can't get it to work with vray. It just renders nothing with no relevant info in the log - except "render's done". I tried with VDB files. I tried with vrscene files, tweaking the anim_start primintrinsic. I tried with copystamp and timeshift. I even tried by linking a geo diretly into the relevant instance field. Best I could get to render was instancing the same frame on all points. Instancepath and/or timeoffset look dead in the water. With no access to their own forums, I'm forced to come here to ask : How the heck are we supposed to instance from disk files or create a cloud of timeoffseted instances with Vray ? And all of this despite the V-ray beta 1 release notes stating this : Quote Instancing Types Instancing through Instance node Light Instancing through Instance node Instancing through instancepath attribute Light Instancing through instancepath attribute Instancing of volumetrics supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
