[Max] Resolved Bugs / background / sky rotated

« on: 2022-04-19, 14:06:42 »

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
(max2022 corona8)

Could it also be related to DR being used ? (same scene, without DR no parsing issues, with DR parsing issues)

Aren't we all somehow administrating computers/servers with remote desktop nowadays ? I'm also stuck with this endless parsing, so i finished sending each batch of renderings to the Autodesk backburner (with or without DR) and then it seems to work

Does v8 changes how it deals with hdri intensity multipliers, and globally, with light intensity values ? Everything seems 5x overblown.

when installing the latest v8 daily, it will update to the chaos licencing system right ?

is it possible to revert to v7 afterwards without messing up everything ?

How do you generate all these custom luts ? any specific soft/app ?

[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!

I tend to do most of the settings in the VFB, often no PS at all. So the more i can do, the better
I also made my own lut's to have more subtle control of the gamma curve, and gamut, and colors. But it's a bit a pain this try and error process.
Ocio support would be great also.

i think DR uses the memory it needs according to the scene you send. How's the CPU usage on the slaves ? Because if they are at 100%, it should be OK
