Hi I'm getting huge waits on autosaves and unable to escape out of it... talking must be 15/20 waits on a 500mb scene...

I have 112gb ram, whats the best setting to get use of that ram.. always don't seem to go over 16gb ram usage which seems not right?

You can disable 3dsMax autosave in Preferences. Just remember to save manually then! That's what I've been doing for years :)

Regarding RAM issues - I don't quite understand your question.

Ceers for the input my friend!... I guess that's the only way... Saves normally in seconds.. but lags extreme on autosave...

Guess with the ram issue I'm wondering if theres a setting like in vray that limits ram use? 'dynamic memory option'

Corona only ever uses a fraction of my 112gb ram

Is your project directory on a slow drive? A save and an auto save in Max use the same procedures. THe only thing I can think of is they are going to different locations/drives.

You can try and do "New - Keep objects and Hierarchy" . I don't really know what this does to the max file, but here in the office when we do it from time to time when we feel that the file starts to become slower than what it should be and it usually helps.

When we save after doing this the file usually becomes smaller.

as mentioned, this is 3dsmax not corona. 3dsmax autosaves with 1 cpu only towards the HDD the project directory is saved on (usually your C drive if you havent changed it). No ram involved in this. Either turn it off or change it to once every 45 minutes if that helps (15mins is too short in my opinion)

Is the file itself slow?
I had a similar problem this week and it turns out that i somehow had 25000 motion mixer tracks in the file which caused saves to be stupidly slow.

If you put this in the listener;
count=theMixer.numMaxMixers()

and it returns a number in the hundreds or even thousands then run the below script

count=theMixer.numMaxMixers()

for i in 1 to count do

theMixer.removeMaxMixer 1 false 1
