Hi guys,

Have a situation with a pretty big  project, which encompasses  quite big area.
Project initially done during the past year.  Corona Renderer version (v9) and  3ds max (2022) - have not been changed since then.
New comments landed,  one of which referred to presenting more 3d people in the scene. The tool used for this is Anima AXYZ (5.0.1  last year) and currently 5.1.1(Anima guys suggested)

The scene started behaving really  slow, loading (>15 minutes), navigating and constant crashes when try to render the Anima people inside.
Trying to cope with the issue applying different solutions - from switching to " Path tracer" as secondary solver in Corona to baking the Anima people, to reducing the people, reloading the Anima file, etc. Initially scene rendered fine with UHD used as secondary light solver, but ever since crashes started and experiments with settings, had lucky shot with switching to " Path tracer", but only  once. Strangely  Interactive works fine.
Currently, the only way to render the scene is to hide the layer with the people. If isolate the people in another file - they render fine, but in this particular scene - nada.
The  scene is rather complicated - there is "camera map per pixel" used for  some simple geometry  volumes, custom override settings and majority of settings are controlled via  Pulze Scene manager.

AMD 5950x, 128 GB ram(during rendering scene pages to disk  ~ 150-160 GB), windows 10Pro, OS 19045.3031, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Hi,

Are you able to share the scene with us? I'm afraid this will be really hard to solve without a scene..

Instructions on how to send it to us are in my signature.

Cheers,

Rowan

Are you by any chance using motion blur in your scene?

Hi guys,

Thanks  for willing to take a look.
I can share the scene, but  guess it will be  a challenging one, considering its complex nature. Not really sure how can share the anima stuff though - it is anima file with at least 800 3d people.
Please advise.

In the meantime, noticed a strange app called "t" preventing windows to shutdown. Tracked it down and turned out to be " Logitech Options +". As use logitech mx mouse and keyborad, it was something installed some time ago. With the app  starting with windows, usually there was a strange issue when switching between any internet browser and 3ds max viewport - endless zoom out. Uninstalling the app and tried once again the very same file  with both UHD and Path tracing. So far the endless zoom out is gone and experienced only1 crash out of 4  attempts trying to  render the scene.Past week  managed to render the scene only one out of more than 30 attempts.

So, not really sure if it is related to the "Logitech " app, but obviously the latter influences whole windows and 3ds max experience.
