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 ?

Would be good to name the architect in the credits...(just saying...)

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

With latest daily, Drserver.exe often crashes on my slaves. It didn't happen on v7.

globally, DR seems to be half working (cpu working at half speed, total passes remains strangely low etc)

Hello Piotrus,

how did you generated those lut's ? any specific software ?

thanks!

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: endless parsing scene

« on: 2021-12-01, 10:32:12 »

Same here (latest v7 hf), i have to make sure I remain on the 3dsmax render dialog to have the parsing going on, otherwise it remains stuck. (If i switch to another soft while parsing, it remains like this forever)
I have some Xrefs scenes with FP and RC in this particular scene, maybe its that ?

« on: 2021-11-23, 11:52:35 »

isn't that problematic that what you see in the vfb isn't saved correctly ? Anyway, even if the data in the vfb is linear, the image is still 8bit on your screen, no ?

[Max] I need help! / strong banding when saving

« on: 2021-11-20, 12:06:25 »

Hello,

i have very strong banding effects on subtle coronasky gradients when i save as JPG (or tiff 8bit) which are not at all visible in the VFB.

i tried with or without luts, its the same.

when i save as 32bit exr, and then convert in PS, it's OK.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

(max2022 cororna 7 latest release)

ps: attached screenshot, left is the saved jpg, right the VFB (some obvious small jpg compression also while posting, but still... and strangely the color is a little off as well !
