UltruMarine Ocean not rendering

Doc Acme

I just picked this item up this am.  When I load the pre-load set, all looks fine in any of the shaded views, but when I try an Iray preview or render, I just get black.

Am I missing something here?

Silly question - is it a 3Delight scene? The sky is pretty low, so maybe it's one that doesn't like iRay.

Unfortunately that is an older product that predates Iray and only works in 3DL

Could use Namtar3D's freebie underwater HDR to light it instead. Available in the Freestuff forum or on Renderosity Freestuff.

Hi Doc Acme. Thats my product. It is for 3Delight so the comments here are correct. It would take a little work to get the skydome to work in Iray (convert to emissive surface and move the map to luminance channel) but the ocean will render in Iray pretty nicely by applying some of the default iray shaders like glass or water. I spent a lot of time on the base geometry so it's mainly a simple surface conversion. Hold control down when you apply the water/glass shader in order to retain the ocean maps.

OK, thanks for the feed back. I'll give those a try.

@ Marshian: Have you cosidered making an Iray add-on for UltruMarine Ocean ?

He and Arki made Aguja Undersea Environment, then there's SY The Depths Iray that should cover your underwater Iray needs.

Thanks NorthOf.  I'm sure they will
