vray frame buffer at hirez

[Tim Saunders]

here's a wierd one to think about. this morning i was trying to rander an exterior scene at 3000x2000 and everytime i would hit render viz would crash. but wen i rendered at lowere rez settings (below 1024) it rendered fine. then i disabled the vray frame buffer, and enabled the defalt viz frame window and it rendered full rez just fine.

well i never render using vrayframe buffer unless you want the separate elements

I would let Chaos know about this. Generally speaking you almost always want to use the Vray Frame buffer.

I'm pretty sure Chaos don't recommend using the vray frame buffer for serious work over at the vray forums. I personally don't find it stable enough and reverted a while back. No doubt it will be sorted out in the next beta..

vray buffer is good for testing - you can use the render mouse location so you don't have to wait for the whole thing, just move your mouse over the areas you need.

 

final renders i do in max buffer, i've not noticed any difference.

interesting thread ismael, but i don't see any problems mentioned directly related to the vfb. i think i will pass this on the chaos. i love the vrb and hope to use it as often as possible. thanks for your thoughts everyone.

I agree - the functionality beats the max buffer hands down. I have however read threads over at the chaos forums from others outlining issues with it in its present incarnation plus I've had a few myself.. I could be wrong but I think Mr Vray himself Vlado suggested it was probably better to use the standard frame buffer for critical jobs at present..
