I like the customization options, but I'm having trouble saving and loading configurations: I can't load some .config files onto any other .cxr than the one where I saved them.
I find it a bit annoying.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Small square box of noise appearing towards end of render

In fact, I've repeted the render without the adaptative light solver and the squares are gone, but an error message appeared:
"Sending sampling mask to slaves timed out. Try to increase synchronization time or decrease maximum pixels per transfer."

I think there's something with the adaptative light solver that crashes? It didn't happen in all my renders by the way.

Same here since a while... there's different noise amount separated by squares.

I have not used batch render because I'm only rendering from one machine so I can't help with this...You should contact them and ask.
Have you considered trying Pulze render manager together with scene manager - that might give you what you want, but of course yet another subscription. But you can at leaste test trial. If I had a render farm I would have used it.

Yes, I've tried to use it with the render manager, but I didn't get it to make it work with Distributed Rendering properly (wich I use the most), and with other methods I found more troubles than aids :(

Hey!

I'm testing pulze scene manager and love the options it offers but I'm stuck in one big problem: When I batch render, it crashes; and if I use "bake setups" and then render with the 3ds max native batch render in "net render"; the lightmix options don't work.

Anyone knows about this?

UPDATE::

Found something weird... Caustics works better if I only activate them in the material, and let the caustic solver on the render settings disabled... if I enable both (material and render settings, it gets messy as I showed). I understand nothing haha

Any news on that?
Maybe using State Sets? I've never used it, and don't know if it will allow that.

Thanks!

Good luck mate.

It's a pain I know - making sure each machine has the exact same software and plug-ins installed at all times.

I've asked, but never found a solution on how to manage this - some sort of system that automatically organizes this for us would be amazing.

The best I've come up with is a spreadsheet, ha. Showing my PC's and a list of each plug-in installed.

Aaaand It was that. We've 6 render nodes, and it was missing in two of them... I'll try your ckeckers and recommendations, because indeed is a pain hahaha

Thank y'all mates!! <3

Oh my!
That's maybe the problem! I'm gonna check if it's installed everywhere and render again.

Feeling so dumb that I didn't think about that hahaha I've installed like 20plugins on every machines, I didn't even think that forgetting one could be the problem.

I'll tell you soon.

Hi!

Since I know that MultiTexture causes a lot of problems with DR, I used Corona MultiMap, but had a problem when compiling the info from different computers.

here's the final render:

And here how I see it WHILE rendering:

Updated to Corona 7, it's a lot clearer, but still a bit "blurry"?
Maybe that's how it's suposed to look like, but it lacks rendering time.

Attached the scene too.

Thanks!

UPDATE:: That's the result for a 4% noise level target, 1900x2375px, CHQ denoiser (4.jpg)(4_2.jpg). Can't render a 1% level target on some scenes, it would take tooooooo much.

Hi,

What version of Corona are you using? If you are using Corona 6, can you upgrade and try using Corona 7 to see if the issue is still the same?

If the issue persists, please upload your scene using the link present in my signature & share the file name.

Let me know.

Regards,
Avi

Yes, I'm using Corona 6. I'll try as you say, and tell you afterwards

Thank you all!

Does the same happen if you don't use region rendering? Regions are not supported, you need to render the whole frame without specifying regions.
Also, since this seems to be a simple scene, I'd share it so support can easily reproduce the problem that way.

Yes, it's indifferent if i do it with or without regions. I'll try to upload corona version, and If it persist, I'll upload the scene :)

Hi everyone!

I've been trying on doing great caustics since a lot, folowing the Helpdesk, tutorials, trying the simplest scenes, configurations... but I ALWAYS get really dirty caustics.
I'm really out of ideas on what I'm doing wrong.
I'm using 3 computers in DR, default render configuration, simple glass material, one source of light... I'm clueless.

I'm attaching some examples
