Vray 1.5 RC3 to Vray 1.5 SP3

[Rconce01]

I am wondering if anyone else is having problems taking scenes that have been created in MAX 2008 with Vray 1.5 RC3 and trying to render them in MAX DESIGN 2010 with Vray 1.5 SP3?

 

Whenever I try to render a scene that was created in the old max and vray setup on the new setup it takes a very very long time to process the light cache alone.

 

The same file that renders in max 2008 with vray in 10 minutes at a low resolution never gets past the light cache alone on the new setup. Its really very slow despite having the same render settings. I am running a dual quad core so i know its not an issue with the computers power. The scenes have approx. 6 materials along with a vray physical cam and a vray sun.

 

I even tried importing the geometry and creating new lights and assigning the color white to the entire scene, just to see if it was an issue with material compatibility or lighting compatibility and no luck. It still takes forever.

 

Found this thread but there are mixed feelings
