Reset the vray frame buffer window position

[Anonymous]

Hey guys, 

I have an issue that i cannot seam to solve.

We show our renderfarm on an 55" TV, using RDCM. 

The problem i have is that the Vray frame buffer windows always opens up outside the screen, and i have to "maximize" the window to fullscreen, then i can drag it down and place it where i want. The problem is that when that render is done. And max closes, the same problem accours again in the new max. 

I found an maxscrip, that can resett window positions, but i cannot figure out what the vray frame buffer window i called in the 3dsmax.ini file?

I have tried to create a new ini file, but its the same issue.

None of these seams to do the trick

-- Rendering:
setINISetting inipath "RenderProgressDialogPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 379 372"
setINISetting inipath "RenderVFBPosition" "Position" "0 0 412 156"
setINISetting inipath "RenderDialogPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 457 1023"
setINISetting inipath "RenderMessageWindow" "Dimension" "0 0 871 406"
setINISetting inipath "RenderPresetsCategoryDialogPosition" "RenderPresetsCategoryDialogDimension" "0 0 210 280"
setINISetting inipath "mentalrayMessagesPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 600 400"

Any one has any ideas?

Thanks

Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

Unfortunately this question is beyond my ability to answer.  Since it is related to Vray, I suggest asking on the Chaosgroup forums.  You might check to see if that screen is listed as monitor 1 or monitor 2.  If it's monitor 2, try making it monitor 1.   Otherwise, I do think you'd need to contact the makers of the plugin at Chaosgroup.com.  Thanks!

Best Regards,

Hey!

Yes, the solution was found in editing a settingsfile.   vrayvfbuser.ini 

Located here.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg

Here i could manually set the location to example 0x0, and the window is placed in the top left corner

Hi,

Just had same issue with vray render window showing full screen without possibility to move or change it.

Solution is go to windows display settings, make resolution smaller. The vray screen will adjust so then you can change its size, set display resolution back to higher res. This works while in 3dsmax

Solved.
