Hi wayne,

any chance to see a max 2014 compatible version of this great tool, soon?

Wäre suuuuper!!! :D

Haha... Saubere Arbeit Alter! Ich dachte mir nur so... Moment die Webseite kennste doch!?! Habe mir das Script noch nicht angesehen, aber sieht vielversprechend aus!

Hoffe Dir geht's gut!!!!

VLG

it is great but you know , vray sun isn't completely customizable and everybody that i knew, using combination between tagetdirect and Dome for better result so would be great if you add these 4 section to your VRsun tool
1:Manuel sun mode for vray sky (control connections between sun and sky )for dusk and overcast lighting
2: advance colorcorrect control for Vraysky in your ui
3: adding and managing TargetDirect light to the sun list when user want to create system
4:a simple docking and floating Button ;)

I have fix the Problem:
"
unable to convert : 2 to type :Boolean
any body can help me please ???

"

There was a Problem with Vray1.5
So have fun!!!!

Hello wayne!

Thank you very much for the update script. Even added the ability to render the solar disk if necessary. works fine with 3d max 2012 vray 2.3 win 7 x64.
It seems that there are no errors and bugs. We will wait for Pro version

When the output of the professional version?

sorry for that,

I can publish the pro version until the lite version runs without bugs...
...so please have patience...

best regards
wayne

I have problem when I use the vr sun script it's working but i can't creat the sun the message told me :

unable to convert : 2 to type :Boolean
any body can help me please ???

Can you open the maxscript Listener and look for some Line and Position message!!!!

unable to convert : 2 to type :Boolean
any body can help me please ???

try update 1.1

I`m not sure if the problem is gone...
can not simulate the error!!

I have found only on line with "2" as target.

if the problem still exists, can you post an screen shot of the message and the sunsystem (I can see in which position the error occurred)

...Request for Reply...

Best regards
wayne

I get a MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception when i run the script. --Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined. If I ok that and click Create/Delete Sun System it comes up with a missing Dll for vray_rtmax2012.dlr and when i cancel that message a Vray dome light is created but another MAXScript Rollout error saying --Unable to convert: 2 to type: Boolean.

Max 2012 x64, VRay 1.5 SP6

Any ideas?

Is there a line reference for the error? (Call needs function or class, got undefined)

Install was fine, but upon trying to drag to a toolbar, max immediately "stopped working."

Edit: Sorry, but somehow I had installed v02, and that was crashing...v1.0 is fine and works great! Thanks for the nice tool.

Thanks for the tool, it works fine with RT ...
It should be part of vray

can´t rotate dome with hdri :-/

heinz1

...just fine ! thanks for this script !

tested on max 2012 x64

VR Sun Tool v1.0 is done!!!!

sorry for that.
Next week I release VR Sun Tool Lite v. 1.0
support up to 2013.
In an few weeks I release "VR Sun Tool Expert" and "- Pro Version."
Demo Version available.
Best regards,
wayne

any help ?

Do you have the 2012 version ready?

System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.
at WinMainCRTStartup()

3ds max 2012 x64 . vray 2.0.03

I`m in progress for a new Version....

awesome dude, thank you!

dude, its crashing whenever you open it on 3ds max 2012 x64 (vray 2.20)

I am interested for max2012/vray2.2 support.
Since i update to 2012 i must stop working with this good script,
because it dont work their.

Thanx

i'm not able to use the sript.... each time i try to drag it into a toolbar i got this error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.
at WinMainCRTStartup()

max crash once i close the error window

Any news about updated version and max2012/vray2.2 support?

Thanks

Still waiting for the Pro version. Any idea when it's ready for the masses? Looks great!

just wondering if it works on 2012 now. It looks nice.

Suggestion: Sun rotation and Sun altitude sliders close to each other so you don't need to move your mouse/tablet pen that far back and forth while adjusting? Perhaps option to manually grab the sun in the viewport and move it around?

Does it works with max 2012 too maybe? :)

Amazing script, i always use it with 2011!

Hi,

Great script i used it all the time in Max design 2011. However, it is crashing Max design 2012 when I drag the script over from "all commands" in the customize user interface to a newly created toolbar. I installed the script then went customize-customize user interface- new (created a new toolbar),in the category (all commands) I found the v-ray sun and when I drag it over to the new toolbar max2012 crashes immediately.

What am I doing wrong?

It's the same for me :(

Hello,

sorry for this problem!!!
I release SunSystem Pro V1 and SunSystem Lite V1 soon. There are some new feature and hot-fixes.

best Regards, wayne

Hi

i need it the script

Just like to add that Vray Sun System Works well - with Max 2012 x64 Vray 2. However I did notice Parameters settings are all ' --- ' with unknown values. Not exactly a problem, as preferred manually connfiguring these anyway. So thanks.

Since you have made the decision not to included a demo of Pro version, could you possibly implement x1 HDR (radToDeg(Z_Rotation/360)) for use in Lite ver?

I use and swear by Pete's method all the time, keen to beta test your Pro Version.

Cheers

p.s Suggestion: perhaps a commision program with Peter referring HDRi leads from Pro Version plugin.

dont work with max 2012 design x64 + vray 2.0 sp1

hi wayne. is there any chance to try pro version in action?

Hallo,

unfortunately the "Pro Version v1.0" is still in progress. The HDRs you can see in the preview movie are only dummies. So I must generate new one. This will take a while!
I think I can release the pro Version in July...
There are some new cool features and up to 30 HDRs.

At the same time, I release the "Lite Version v1.0".
I don't release a demo version, because you can find most of the feature in the lite version. sorry about that!!!!

hope you can still wait...

regards

I want to try the pro version!!

Cool script, very useful, thanks

Hi,

I am not very experienced but when I use the HDRI map in lite it is way out of scale. I can tell this when I zoom out a long way the map starts to get in scale? How can I fix this so the background map image is in scale with my model?

Hello. great script but it does not renders the solar disk of V-ray sun

Sun created the usual method is rendered beautifully. as render i using v-ray 2.00.2

Hallo, yes I think thats because vraysky is in texmap of vraylight. And the solar disk is behind the environment...
sorry about that!!!

very useful script ,it is really handy
May i have a suggestion :
- Could you make a link between the sun and the camera --> for example: when i render many shots (cameras) for a building i create a new sun for each camera ..
camera (1) --> sun (1)
camera (2) --> sun (2) .. etc
- each camera has its light angle and its parameters (exposure - resolution - color mapping .. etc)
The result is ..
when i render from camera (1) ..... automatically turn on sun (1) and turn off sun (2) then load the render preset for this camera (resolution - color mapping - etc)

thaaaaank......working with max2011

it work with max 9 too, but when I tried press refresh all, it just crashing max and max quit on it own.

running erro ~~~~~vray 2.0 3ds max 2011 64bit

I tested on max2011 64bit with vray 2.0 without errors.
I will check it out!!!!

This one, is my Lite Version. I am working on another one. With hdri Images.

[....do that you have to create an interface to show the bitmap and "pick" the sun position on it to linked the sun and the sky to that position...).....]

I dont know how can I make an Interface to get the Sun position. maybe with an jpg image...

If anybody know how I could do that!

should be interesting if :
- We can save scene states fo each position
- Save some presets (like HDRI file in the vray dome light?)
- is the hdri uvw coordinate linked to the sun/sky rotation? to do that you have to create an interface to show the bitmap and "pick" the sun position on it to linked the sun and the sky to that position...)

With that it should be a reaaalllyyy useful one!

good luck :)
