Matthias Veen Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Since I updated to VW 10.5 I can't render using raytracing. So using 'final quality Renderworks' or check the 'use raytracing' in the custom Renderworks option leaves me with the screen you get when rendering usually starts but nothing happens. Please help me out... (I work on a fw800 G4, dual 1,25Ghz with 1 gig RAM installed) Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Do you see a bar in the upper right hand of the screen that says Rendering or something like that? It may start to progreses as a blue bar, but is just a blank gray until the actual rendering process starts. Depending on the file size and the type of textures and the number of textures/lights in the drawing, the rendering time may take a while with ray tracing. Quote Link to comment
Matthias Veen Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Dave, it's for all files. I made a file with only one simple extrusion and no light. I get the screen with the checker pattern and nothing happens after this. From the reactions it seems that I'm the only one facing this problem. Maybe I have to reinstall VW 10.1 from the disc and upgrade again to versin 10.5? Quote Link to comment
Matthias Veen Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ok, I reinstalled everything again and it's working fine. I have no idea what the problem was. I'm using the same workspace and a copy of the same default file than before.. Even the Vectorworks preferences where kept from the previous install. Thanks anyway, Matthias Quote Link to comment
Matthias Veen Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 I know what you mean Katie, the bar is there at first (geometry e.g.) but after they are completed the rendering should start. But it does not (only if raytracing is turned off) Matthias Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted September 23, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hello Matthias: Is this for a particular file, or all files? What object(s) are in the drawing? Any NURBS objects? Quote Link to comment
