[Max] I need help! / Re: increase the quality of the texture in a small size

« on: 2021-03-05, 14:53:39 »

Istnt it obvious that only high resolution will have enough pixels to show all those details. I dont get how it can be done by any other way.

Just come closer with a cam. What you want and what Fstorm has is physical zoom. This would indeed be very nice to have in Corona I agree.

What would be the point of interactive window of that size ? It makes zero sense.

Little help please

I have Corsair h115i cooler thats going around 70-85c.  Would NH-U14S with 2 NF-A15 fans be able to do better job at cooling my 3960x ? I see there is no need for second fan.

I see that you guys fancy Noctua and I am not satisfied with my AIO cooler

What? D15 doesn't even fit Threadripper, the only available cooler is U14s TR4. Since this wasn't really Threadripper related I will clean the thread in upcoming weeks.
It's becoming free technical support.

I am sure you will enjoy cleaning my superstitious solutions :D

Well there are lot of solutions you will stumble upon randomly (and issues often solve themselves seemingly) so I would be careful to not misattribute the cause :- ). You might have worn your socks reversed on that day too.

Well guy already tried 20 different things. Whats the harm in misattributing the cause if the problem is solved along the way. Unplug the 8 pin, test, if it does not work plug it again. Its 3 minutes work. Its not gonna burn the cpu. Though I think He solved the problem since He is not here for a long time hehe.

That's not really true. A single 8-pin CPU connector has effective 280W rating. You should not be running Threadripper like that.

It does not cost much to try. Its just testing and experimenting now. Desperate measures also.

My problem with PC restarting after starting render ended when I unplugged 1 8pin connector and swapped all memory modules one by one. So one of those solved the problem.

Thanks Juraj,

Yesterday morning with the IT guy, we : 
-Check the Memory and it swap 2 of the pair
- GPU place in different PCi lane x16, Stress software test. He said that the RTX 3080 has some problem, but this looks correct.
- Connection from Power supply to GPU 2 times 8 pin directly
- XMP disabled. Default settings
- CPU temperature 61c during rendering time.

After that, It was working-rendering perfectly.... in the evening it crashed 2 times. 1 in interactive and 1 in rendering normal.  Black screen and restart like last time.
Another problem came out. When I switch off Windows 10, the pc still on...

 I am a bit frustrated ;-(  THanks for any suggestions.

Also Try this. You have on your mobo 8+8pin CPU power connector. If you plugged both to your power supply, unplug the left one out. You only need one to be plugged in order to power your PC. Second might cause power issues in this case. Just try it.

Try this. Lower the speed of all cores by 10% and see if it still crashes. Your temperatures might be fine but power draw might keep restarting your PC. By lowering cores speed your power draw will diminish so you can see if this might cause restarts. I had problem with TR 3960x that kept restarting my pc as soon as I hit render in Corona. I lowered in ryzen master core speed from 4,0 to 3,88 and it never crashed again.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Tonemapping - Plz Halp

Just curious, what are your main reasons for pursuing this pipeline? Is it to keep up with industry movement or are you finding much benefit from it in your CG pipeline?
I think over the past 5/6 years ive read similar threads and its been interesting seeing how the discussion changes and seeing how much better its understood each time but i think alot of people, myself included, would love to know how following colour managed workflow in this way actually helps you day-to-day.

I dont get why this topic now when tonemapping is being redone in Corona roadmap.
What would actually help is to include the community to test and intervene this development so that the new tonemapping is really what we need.

Arnasvill, what specifically in your bios was causing the problem. I got the same problem so maybe the same solution will help.

Bump 0 it's a bug around 3 month, they can't fix it.
We can fix this by changing file in notepad
MegaScan Lib\support\plugins\max\4.12\MSLiveLink\MS_Importer.py

mat.mapamountBump = 0

to

mat.mapamountBump = 1

God damn, you just saved me over 100000 clicks in my future lifetime.  Big thanks,

Maru, to my understanding it makes perfect sense. This is clearly not a result of AMD mistake in CPU architecture. Its simply AMD making sure that cores have a bit  more voltage than really needed just in case to have a bit of safety zone. Factory setting are always a bit on a safer side.

Now experimentally, too many people reported this to be working in order to say it does not make sense. It may however be as you said, that some combinations of CPU and mobo are just underperforming in terms of temperature unless they are undervolted.

For lowering the temps. I reduced my voltage in offset mode by - 50mV. Got 6 Degrees C less in all tests and identical Benchmark scores.

I have 3960x.

Lowering to -75 got me blue screen for additional 3 C less. So I keep it at -50mV and am quite happy for this.

I wonder if others tried this and what were their results.
