V-Ray Error Log - Location

V-Ray Error Log - Location

If you experience issues or crashes with V-Ray, the error log can normally be found in the V-Ray window but if it crashes then you can also find the log in your files.


















Specific V-Ray error log locations:

Windows: Users > Your Username > AppData* > Roaming > Chaos > V-Ray for [host application] > vrayneui

Mac: Users > Your Username > .Chaos* > V-Ray for [host application] > vrayneui

* These folders are hidden. For windows see here for instructions and for Mac press Shift + Command + Full stop/period. 

The error log is reset every time you open the host application and isn't re-saved unless the host application closes successfully. Wherever possible, close the application (eg. Sketchup) before it crashes in order to record the greatest amount of error information.

The V-Ray error log is particularly useful for identifying problem textures/materials/bitmaps as well as issues with paths of loaded-in components and could be requested by Chaos if you open a support ticket with them.
