Hey Fran, yeah there was a problem, but Vlado was able to send me a fix, after I ran into it. The current 1.45.70 beta has a problem when multiple computers try to access the irrandiance map at once. What happens is the frames that get locked out do not get their GI added to the frame, only direct light. The latest version, 1.50 (whenever it comes out) has this fixed (possibly some of the other less pulic betas too) and it does not happen in 1.09. Contact vray if you run into this issue with the current public beta and I suspect they can send you the file.

The respower farm has this new DLL deployed and will be used when you choose the 1.45.70 vray version in the Wizard

Otherwise just use 1.09, all our other Smoothe offices recently downgraded back as they found the beta to be too slow in production for glossy reflections as well as a few other animation issues that I have not yet experienced.
