[Max] I need help! / Distributed Rendering: noise?

« on: 2019-03-14, 00:09:21 »

Hi all,

I was wondering, I bought myself a server to use as a renderfarm. So I have no experience with distributed rendering so far.
But I notice when I use distributed rendering my image becomes darker and there is more noise at 250 passes then if I would render it local.

Server runs on Window server 2012 R2.

The server itself has no GPU.. Not sure if that would have anything to do with that.


Kind Regards,

[Max] I need help! / Rebus is sending me noisy images - deadline tomorrow

« on: 2017-09-03, 10:14:55 »

Hi all,

I have a serious problem i'v been trying to get my images rendered on Rebus for over 2 days now.
I set the limit to 250 passes but all my images come out noisy.

Like really noisy, then I made a testscene, just a tree and plane/hdri map sent it over it gets back super noisy.
The thing is, on my machine 75 passes are cleaner then 250 passes on rebus.

Now i'v been using Rebus for over 2 years and never had any problems like this.
I even downgraded to hotfix 1 because they haven't added hotfix 2 yet.

then I tried another renderfarm and I got the same result. So now i'm starting to think its on my end.
I tried resetting rendersettins but nothing helps.

Please someone, i'm running against a hard deadline with no solution in sight.
Also re-installed corona. And tried it even in an older version of max.

Kind regards,

[Max] I need help! / Corona 1.4 errr....

« on: 2016-05-17, 11:11:43 »

So I installed corona 1.4 yesterday and well... It feels like big step backwards.
Region render doesn't work, at all.

When I select region render in VFB and drag a selection it renders a previous region. Not the one I selected.
So basically the only way to effectively use region render is still via the render menu and then drag your selection.

Unless i'm doing something really wrong, I just don't seem to get this working at all.
I'm also looking for the internal res section... has this been removed?

Color settings are completely skewed, which i'm not even sure how its possible.
regards

[Max] General Discussion / Sigertools ( corona ) not supported on Rebus renderfarm?

« on: 2015-09-18, 08:12:50 »

Anyone else having trouble rendering images on Rebus when using Sigertools?
Since the 1.2 change all my scenes involving siger shaders are impossible to render on their farm...

Strange tings I tell you.

General CG Discussion / I'm having a bit of an odd situation with 3dsmax

« on: 2015-08-07, 12:35:18 »

For some reason I can't open up Print assistant anymore...
I  hear there's a window open somewhere but its not there ( windows makes the ding sound ) when you click on something else.

Now I tried putting it back to factory settings, but nothing helps.

[Max] I need help! / Been searching, can't find straight answer

« on: 2015-06-27, 17:16:29 »

Quck question when people talk about using softboxes in their scene, what exactly are we talking about? A regular corona light in the scene or? And if so does it require any specific settings?
Kind Regards

[Max] General Discussion / Starting my own material library

« on: 2015-03-31, 16:31:37 »

I as wondering, what is the best way to create my own material library?   I heard some people saying to make a scene for each material and import them, but sounds like such a hassle.
Or some kind of script that helps with that?

Much appreciated!

[Max] I need help! / Backplate?

« on: 2015-03-24, 20:53:20 »

Hiya,

Was wondering, how do you go about putting a backplate in your interior renders? I went to take some pictures and usually I just put a plane with a corona light material.
However in this case it doesn't seem to work well, so I 'm starting to doubt if this is the correct workflow lol.

Do you guys do it in post or?

Tips are much appreciated.

Gallery / Personal Project

« on: 2014-11-12, 20:23:16 »

My latest creation, still got a long way to go, but using corona really gives me the chance to focus on details instead of focusing on blotches.

On a sidenote : does anyone know how to get rid of the black AA lines at my window?
