If you are running a background process for VRay rendering, you must also be somehow handling other VRay environment variables. These variables may be coming for *free* from the maya environment that spawned the background process. If that is the case, then you can also adjust the the PATH variable in the maya.env.
I suggest that you set the PATH variable to include your vray bin directory, then simple call "vray.exe" without a full path. Side note: I've setup network installs of VRay on windows and bootstrapped the plugin loading with the userSetup.py. I like using python to manage the various plugin versions. In my case it also is setting the PATH variable such that I can simply call vray.exe directly from within maya using subprocess.Popen(["vray"]+args). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
