Problem with Interactive Render and Jepegraphics Products

dawnblade

One of Daz's Iray video tutorials recommends using Interactive mode b/c it renders faster than Photoreal. Since I do not have an Nvidia GPU, I wanted to try Interactive mode until I'm ready to go with a final render. I have an older AMD Radeon HD 5700 video card.

The problem I'm encountering is that whatever Jepegraphics products I use in the scene, such as FlameZ or Elementz, it will render black in Interactive mode, while everything else in the scene renders fine.

I contacted Jepegraphics and he kindly tested it, and said it works for him. So I was wondering if anyone else without an Nvidia video card has run into this issue, and if so is there a workaround (other than buying a new video card)?

i had this effect when not enough ram left

is this the case with this product only ?

I do have an Nvidia card and in interactive mode this prop renders black for me to - If you turn off Tone Mapping then it renders more like Photoreal mode

TBH I woud never have noticed as I don't often use interactive anyway but as i had the prop I had to try it out :)

Thank you @Tottallou for testing this for me! Wow, too bad the tone mapping settings would be affected, but thank you for finding this out.

So far, of the products I've used as a newbie thus far, the Jepegraphics special effects products (FlameZ, ElementZ, DragonFire etc.) are affected.
