when i open my rhino file the screen is black and doesn’t let me click anything
-tried to look at plugins on a blank document, under ‘Plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino’ there is ‘Vray for Rhino’ and a folder ‘Vray for Rhinoceros VRScene Importer’
-if i turn these off my other file does open, but then i do not have vray as a render option and need it asap!!
all was working literally this morning and then i saved it and shut the file, reopened after lunch and didn’t work

i had it to high performance already, just changed the ‘ open gl rendering GLU’ and the ‘power management mode’ to max performance
still doesn’t work when i open the file
-not sure if it’s anything but when ive tried to open it a few times it says ‘searching for 29’ in the bottom left in a green loading button and that’s when it seems to stop loading kind of
sometimes has it sometime it doesn’t have it
i don’t use a hardrive so i think they are networked then, i just download things from chaos cosmo and then use them or from websites like ambient.com and save them to my folders
the file has just loaded:heart_eyes:
everything is working but when i try do a quick interactive render is says ‘failed to find a default viewport to render’
don’t wanna close it and then it not open again…
any idea what i can do
if not will accept my fate

We have met similar cases, but needed is to collect the version information and more which will be requested later.
The most probable reason for the problem is that you have lots of Cosmos materials in your file, and you moved to another machine, or the texture cache is cleared.
The green bar at the bottom that @Japhy is probably reading as V-Ray searching for asset, is actually Rhino searching for the textures for the viewport preview of the cosmos materials.
It can be because of two reasons:
Cosmos assets are not available on the local machine, but Rhino doesn’t know that (yet) and it is doing its best to find the textures to display them. If you have a lot of network-ed files, that could take a while and will happen every time, unless you have the files locally
Cosmos materials use .tx files which Rhino does not support, and we need to sample them with V-Ray to a .jpg file that Rhino understands. Depending on the texture sampling settings, this may take a while, but happens only once, as the texture cache is local to the current machine. You can significantly speed up any future samplings if you lower the sampling resolution via vrayTexturePreviewSettings command.
The error you see when rendering is probably due to the fact that you started the render process before the viewport is created (e.g. while it was still black). If that was the case try to render another viewport.
