Hi, I have a problem with the rendered view on rhino7.
When I select the rendered view, the following message appears at the left bottom of the screen: “rendered () not available”.
The problem has started since I installed the Vray plugin for rhino and since then I haven’t solved it yet.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed?
Thanks in advance
GM
Please run the Rhino command _SystemInfo and post the results here.
You mean the Raytraced mode, no doubt.
no… not the Raytraced mode, I wrote render mode. It’s the third option from the top (wireframe, … , render,…)
Hi -
That sounds like a V-Ray issue, then. What happens when you disable the V-Ray plug-in in the plug-in manager and restart Rhino?
(you didn’t provide the SystemInfo data…)

I just tried to disable the plug-in as you said and the render view works without problems. When I turn Vray on again the problems appears again…
Hi -
You will have to ask the Chaos Group people for support with this issue. I’ll change this thread to the appropriate category but you might need to reach out through their official support channel.

Thank you for your help !
Hi,
Which version of V-ray for Rhino you are using?
Did you test Interactive Render from V-ray frame buffer?
If it is working the V-Ray Interactive viewport should be working too.
GPU
CPU
Hi!
I don’t know which version I’m using but in any case no… the interactive render doesn’t work.
When I push the icon I only see a black frame and the render stops in a second.

Same here.
Vray is a real bug’s nest 
Doe’s the normal V-Ray rendering work? I would open the log window and check the messages during starting the interactive rendering.
@osuire I don’t think VfR is a bug nest, works very stable all days here. 
Hi Micha, I updated the V-ray plugin, and the interactive mode seems back online.
I suppose that my impression is due to the fact I don’t use Vray very often, but each time I do, I run into some kind of snag.
By the way, I’m using “Vray-Next” for which I have a perpetual licence.
Would you see any reason for me to upgrade to a newer version, knowing I have basic rendering needs ?
I’m not sure which version Next was. But if I remember me right, VfR3 was a complete new coded plugin. I skipped this version because it wasn’t matured enough for my need. VfR4 was much better, maybe this is NEXT. So, it was an early version of the current plugin. VfR5 is quite rock solid, I like it. Current version is VfR6 and I don’t started to use it because at the moment I’m working on a complex project and I don’t want to switch in this moment. So, most I’m using VfR5 and VfR6 for some tests only.
Your version is quite old and a lot of bugs was be fixed over the years. I’m using GPU rendering and the supported features are growing with every new release. So, updates are welcome and I will use VfR6.
yes, Vray 4 is NEXT. They called it next because Vray4forRhino would be a awkward.
I had very little issues with Next, so I wonder what kind of issues you are having. Anyways, if your rendering needs are basic, then upgrading is not really recommended. When doing a lot of rendering, version 5 was a massive upgrade imo, 6 less so, plus right now it’s either choosing an overpriced perpetual or going for subscription.
