[Max] I need help! / DR - ignores Environment Variable?

« on: 2020-09-21, 12:18:25 »

I have this Megascans workaround that you place an environment variable

Code: [Select]

ADSK_3DSMAX_PYTHON_VERSION=2and it allows you to install Megascans in 3dsmax 2021.

Its seems to work until I fire up DR, because it keeps crashing and the Max log shows up it has something to do with Megascans.
I think this is because DR ignores the Environment Variable and fires up 3dsmax 2021 with python 3 instad of python 2..
I did remove Megascans from 3dsmax and it seemed to help and DR works as intended, but I want to keep using it.

Is there a way to fix it?

[Max] I need help! / Freeze mid-render

« on: 2018-12-03, 20:50:57 »

Ok I need help.
I upgraded to version 3 and everything was great for like a week, but now almost every scene I have freezes after a few passes when I try to render it. Interactive Render works like a charm tho..
The fun thing is I can see 3dsmax still being loaded and and giving all vital signs in the Task Manager.
For now I downgraded back to Corona 2 and everything seems to be schwifty again.

Anyway yesterday everything was great with Corona 3 I was rendering like a happy psychopath... and the only thing changed since yesterday was some Windows update that forced itself in - KB4467682... not sure how this information's any good.

[Max] Bug Reporting / 3dsmax UI and viewport lag

« on: 2017-11-01, 14:05:11 »

I use Corona 1.7.
Just noticed an odd behavior.
When I work on a scene (around 6M poly) everything is smooth.
If I try to fire up IR - everything is okay.
But once I start the progressive rendering (with DR) it starts normally, but once I stop it and go back on working the scene everything is sluggish and laggy.
If I save and restart 3dsmax with the same scene - everything is smooth again.
