I know this sounds like a stupid question, but .... in 7.5 if I right clicked on the render icon it would bring up the GI panel. Now it does nothing. How do I now get to the GI setting for Vray?

I find that you have to have Vray chosen as the renderer first...maybe this is the problem??


Worth a try, just switch to Vray in Model side preferences then try the R-click.

A screen shot or video showing the problem will make it easier to diagnose. ;)

For some reason, right clicking the top bar render icon won't bring up the panel in vray for caustics and GI.

If you right click the bottom render icon (for workspace) then click in the upper right corner where it says "default" a drop down box will show the selections for GI and Caustics. (see image)

With a little playing around, I found that the right click capability has been removed from the regular render icons in Model. But, it works both in Model and Workspace if you right click the render icon at the bottom. Thanks to all for the hints.

Any ideas as to how to get the VirtuaLight GI panel? If the right-click option has been removed from the Model render buttons... I'm toast.

Why is free trueSpace7.6 seeming more like an advertisement for VRay every day?

Right-click has not been disabled for the model side icons. We do have a reported bug relating to the Virtual Light properties panel. That bug could very well be carrying over to the right-click for the other renderers.


You can use the TSFiles drop-down menu and delect Preferences to specifiy your render engine on the model side.


Jedi, I'm going to refer you back to your thread for fixing access to the Virtual Light Properties Panel. I used the manual input method and confirmed that it resolves the panel problem.

I have this same problem. I looked at the posts that was referenced about VitrtualLite an could not find the registration keys at all that they mentioned and nothing like that for Vray either.
