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
please run systeminfo in the Rhino command line and post the result.
of the file i changed the plugins on, or the file i can open without vray operating?
Ideally not in Safe Mode (no plugins/graphics driver loaded) but that works as well.
ok this is for the file I am working on but turned off the two plugins so that i can open it

Thanks, I was thinking might be running on a inadequate graphics card, but that looks ok.
With the battery unplugged make sure its using still using the performance settings…
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
This might be related to vray material assets being searched for. Are any of them networked?
Have you tried troubleshooting by exporting selected portions of the model? Import these into a new file set to wireframe.
sorry i suck with technology- what do you mean by the materials being networked? how can i check that?
i can also try the second thing if the material thing doesn’t work
Resources that are on a networked drive, not on your hard drive.
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
Dear Jelena, hello.
Please share your issue via our contact form
We have met similar cases, but needed is to collect the version information and more which will be requested later.
Waiting for your ticket in our system.
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:
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.
