[Max] General Discussion / Re: Looking for a cause of Interactive Rendering slowdown (+Poll)

I run into the following issue.  Sometimes when IR is active and 3ds Max does an autosave, everything gets looked up.  I'm forced to end task. If work has not been saved up to this point, all is lost unless there was a successful autoback saved. Pretty frustrating.

How do you convert a Corona project to Vray?

I thought it was recommended to use Path tracing for exteriors.

I ran a sample using 4 percent and it was pretty clean.  The number of passes were 73.  So I increased the final renders to 65.  I like some grain.

I always use the corona high quality denoiser... here is an example at 40 passes.  I've raised my passes to 65 since this was rendered.

What do you guys tend to do for clean exteriors...run 40 plus passes or 4-3 noise level. I've been rendering my 4096 image with 40 passes and initially they were looking pretty good, but the closer I looked the more noise I noticed.  Primary and Secondary set to Path tracing.

I had to reboot slaves and they started working again.

[Max] General Discussion / [solved] Corona 5 DR failing

« on: 2020-02-21, 05:46:09 »

Running a render using DR and even though it seems to be rendering the image with the rendernodes, when I click on the DR tab is show the slaves in red and says it failed to connect.  It was green before but now red.  I checked my slaves and the drserver says rendering. Anyone run into this issue?  3ds MAX 2019.

I'm trying to work on my landscaping with FP and the VFb keeps locking up.  I have to restart max every time.

So I noticed that if I don't precalculate per cam I get slower times.

Or you can use CG source multi-texture and add you bitmaps there. Works well with floor generator.

Is Corona 5 slower? Or is it just me?  I thought it was supposed to be faster than previous version.

Add corona rect lights in the windows...see if that works.  Or find a overcast hdri that gives you some decent ambient lighting.

So update...I went the precalculate route and used From File for the frames that had animated objects.  Here's the scene.  Camera is not moving, but ceiling fans are spinning and dof animated.  It worked great. No flickering.  I plan to run another camera tonight. This time the camera will be moving along a path while the fans are rotating.  Quick obvious question.  I have to recalculate UHD for each cam, correct?
