Rendering and light problem with Fashion Catwalk environment

Geminii23

Hi,

So I purchased the Fashion Catwalk set (which is a nicely constructed set btw) and I am having problems with the preset lighting rigs.

Both lighting presets throw up an error with the Uber environment. After inspecting the documentation it seems you do not need to acquire Uber separately anymore, and I do see that I have it installed. But when I try to render my scene I receive the following errors and the render never completes. It gets to 99% and then just is stuck. I left the render going over night and it still never finished.

The log file shows the following:

I have also tried removing the Uber that is set up automatically with the preset and tried to create an Uber fresh. But the result was very odd. There suddenly appeared large jagged white patches everywhere in the viewport.

I contacted the original developer but he said DAZ owns this product outright now and that I need to contact support.

I just wanted to check with the community first and see if anyone knows the fix on this.

Thanks.

These:

3Delight message #43 (Severity 0): R2093: object '' (displacement 'dzdisplace', surface 'dzdefaultshadow') 
used only 0% of its displacement bound

... are warnings. They're not serious and can be ignored.

The real issue appears to be:

3Delight message #45 (Severity 2): S2050: cannot find shader 'omnifreaker/light/omUberEnvironment', will use 'spotlight'

Which implies an issue with the installation of UberEnvironment.
