[Max] General Discussion / DR maps transfer ?

« on: 2022-05-22, 11:47:18 »

Hello,

i was wondering when rendering in DR. Are all the maps in the current scene transfered to the render nodes ? Or just the ones that are actually used ?

I often use a CoronaSelect map with multiple hdri's for different tests of skies and lighting. Are all of them sent ? or just the one that is selected ?

thanks

It seems that when using a 360 image or corona sky in a colorcorrectnode or coronaselect, the image is displayed with 90° angle (X + Y axis ?) in the window display

[Max] I need help! / dealing with heavy scene

« on: 2022-02-05, 19:34:51 »

Hello,

small question, how do you deal with heavy scenes ? I got several buildings (lets say 30mb compressed max files each), each of them with RC and FP elements, all in different max files, and i have one master max file with xref'd scenes from where i send the renderings.

it does the job, but launching the renderings takes ages (loading takes ages (+/- 5-10 min), and then rendering is Ok)

when rendering from each file individually, it's quite fast though...

any good tips would be usefull ;)

thanks!

[Max] Bug Reporting / strong banding when saving

« on: 2021-11-20, 12:06:25 »

Hello,

i have very strong banding effects on subtle coronasky gradients when i save as JPG (or tiff 8bit) which are not at all visible in the VFB.

i tried with or without luts, its the same.

when i save as 32bit exr, and then convert in PS, it's OK.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

ps: attached screenshot, left is the saved jpg, right the VFB (some obvious small jpg compression also while posting, but still... and strangely the color is a little off as well !

[Max] General Discussion / Distributed rendering

« on: 2021-07-24, 11:10:45 »

Hello,

I got 2 questions about DR in Corona7 :

- is there a setting somewhere to include, or not, the maps when sending out the job to the render nodes ?
- would it be possible to send over the calculated data from the render nodes "over the fly", and not at the end of the render in order to speed to the compilation of the render data ?

Thank!
