Max 2013 now can't read or write final gather maps. I get an error cannot open map file. I have tried using a unc path \server name. I had the problem previously whan I moved to win 7 and I got around it by turning off my UAC. But that is off.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to optimize the rendering time on pre-rendering my Final Gather map.
I've set it to every 5 frames and halved the resolution of my FG map compared to the final render but I'm wondering if some of the other roll-outs such as the Image Precision, Soft Shadows, Glossy Reflections and Refractions make a difference to the FG map. Can I knock these settings down a notch or two, or do I have to keep them the same as the final render?
After I installed design 2011 student version, I can't move the final gather presets or for that matter there are no presets available to change. And the values go erratic often. I switched to scanline and back to MR but that doesn't rectify it.
And also there are no geographic locations available in my daylight system
I am working with a network and it works for standard rendering.
I want to use it to pre-generate the FG maps. I have tried the "generate now" button, but that makes the FG calculate locally on the current machine... even with Net render checked.
When I try doing a render using the frames just as junk, it renders out, but does not save the FG map.
Working with max 2012 and Backburner.
If I generated FG maps with interpolation of every 3 frames and I use read FG points at every 2 frames. Would this be wasting my time? Would it be better if I just set it to 0? Once it starts rendering it comes up with warning signs saying it can't find specific FG maps which is understandable. Would max have to generate new ones (because this would be a waste of render time) and if it does can I somehow just tell it not to?
It is an animation that I am rendering (moving car and moving camera).
I've got a scene set up with a lot of objects (about 680 of them), and about a million polys. I'm in the process of trying to render out the animation and I'm running into some problems.
When I am attempting to recalculate my final gather maps so I can interpolate between frames and reduce flicker in the final animation, it is halting at different frames depending on what final gather settings I'm using, but halting with every setting I've tried.
This last time I tried it with "Low" default settings (.4, 150, 30, 0 bounces) and it stopped on frame 90 at 99.9% of "computing final gather points". With other settings it has stopped at frame 102 at 95.4%, and on another setting frame 87 at 66.5%. The most common percentage to halt at has been 99.9% of Computing Final Gather Points, but the frame number it halts on and the percentage varies.
The halt is repeatable and happens at the same exact spot in the animation depending on the settings. So if I use "Low" (.4, 150, 30, 0) it will always stop at frame 90 at 99.9% Computing Final Gather Points. The other settings will produce the same result over and over as well. I also attempted to re-start the precalculation from the frame that it halted on (after deleting the previous FGM file for that frame). Frame 90 still halts at 99.9%... or frame 102 halts at 95.4%... etc...
I can, however, get frame 91 to complete it's final gather map if I set the sequence to pick up on the next frame and go from there.I will attach an image of the model/scene I'm currently working on.
I am trying to write a layer gathering and changing program that will store a lists of layers based on layers they need to be changed to. I am writing it in C# and the part that is killing me is I need to store the old layers before I convert them so that way in the future the program will automatically know to change those layers to the appropriate layer.
I am trying to use an .xml file to permanently store the layers, and a serializer to read the layers into a dictionary so that I can search and see if I have already come across a layer.
I know that sounds very convoluted so let me simplify the problem. We have our layers which are only 7 layers. We get drawings from outside sources and they have their layers. Their layers correspond to one our 7 layers. We have a list showing which of their layers correspond to one of our layers. When we get drawings with layers we've never seen before, we need to search through the list to confirm it isn't already there and if it is not present, then ask the user to which of our layers their new layer should be associated.
I want to store the data in a xml file in a manner similar to this <ourlayertheirlayer> ourlayer1, somerandomthintg ourlayer1, anotherrandomthing ourlayer1, thisrandomthing ourlayer2, whatisthis ourlayer2, whoisthis ourlayer3, whycantifigurethisout ourlayer3, canyoufigureitout</ourlayertheirlayer>
Then I want to serialize the xml file and save the data in a Dictionary<string,string> type whre the first string is one of our layers and the second string is their layer.
I want the data in the xml file to persist between application sessions, but the dictionary would be filled each the program is started.Later in the program I will use the Dictionary to gather all the objects based on their layer, the second string in the dictionary, and convert them to our corresponding layer, the first string in the dictionary.
I am having trouble setting up my types in C# though. How do I create an xml serializer that will read ourlayer, theirlayer from an xml file and save it to a Dictionary. The data doesn't have to be in the xml file in that format either, I just can't think of an easier way than commas to sepearte the two pieces of data.
public class OursTheirs{ public List<string>[,] goToDict { get; set; }}public class oursTheirsComma{ public string commaPresent { get; set; }}public static class SerializeAddToDict{ public static string getFromXML(string xml) { XmlSerializer xmls = new XMLSerializer(typeof(string)); return xmls.Deserialize(new StringReader(xml)) as string; } public static List<string>[,] ParseXML { //Stuff here
I haven't figured out to convert the string to a //List<string>[,] where the first column is one of our 7 layers,second //column their layer } //Then some other stuff here to add the stuff to a dictionary}
I just starting learning C# and .NET.
How to do it?

1) Can I use photoshop SDK to build independent desktop app (not photoshop plugin) to read/write/edit psd file? If yes, is there any license rule I must follow?
2) Can I use photoshop API to build more module to read/write/edit psd file,
then use this core module to build complete web-based app with wonderful flex as front-end and that core module is back-end?
If both above 2 items it not capable of implementing, is there another way to build independent desktop app or web-based app for read/write/edit psd file?
When I save a photo in Photoshop CS6 v13, as a .jpg file, it automatically gives me read and write permission, but not others. This is a pain as I have to change it each time I want to send someone a photo.

There seems to be a glitch in AutoCAD with allowing another user to access a drawing that someone already has open. Most of the time , it will not allow this and will correctly give the message that someone is already in the file and give the option of opening file as read only.
There have been a few times though that someone will not be prevented from accessing the file and the read and write privileges will be transferred to the new user that opened the file last. How do we prevent this from happening??

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm new to AutoCAD, and especially new to AutoCAD Map 3D. I need to make a plat showing a well location. When using Petra or DrillingInfo, a map can be printed to a DXF. DrillingInfo puts out a DXF with just the 0 layer, and the well spots come in as polyline circles. The DXF Petra puts out opens with different layers and symbology, which I like. It's just that the well spots are blocks, which I do not understand. When I open the Petra map with AutoCAD Map 3D, my well spots are unitless block references, and are tiny specks. I need to resize them so they can be seen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe Substance Maps are not rendering with the NVIDIA Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2013.
The maps display nicely in the view port and render with the Default Scanline renderer and the Quicksilver renderer. It also doesn't render with the NVIDIA iray renderer. The same Substance material setup renders fine with the Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2012. What's UP!!
How do I print drawings with such maps. I cannot seem to find the way to make it print in the layout. Otherwise it is a great new feature!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an issue trying to connect to Live Maps. How to implement this through a proxied enterprise environemnt. I've read the posts to use :
Authenticated Proxies:
To use the above mentioned AutoCAD Online components through proxy servers with Authentication enabled, you should enable http (port 80) and https (port 443) access to the following domains in the proxy without Proxy Authentication (i.e. Access for “All users” or Anonymous access through the proxy):
*.autodesk.com
*.google-analytics.com
*.cloudfront.net
We don’t proxy ports 80 and 443 directly (we use 8989-9093 for proxy ports), so I don’t see any way of meeting these requirements at the present time, at least in the wired Enterprise network.

I have made a plug-In for AutoCAD 2013 which reads the x-Ref from a DWG File.
However, I wants to read this xRef Details (with parent child tree information), from an Console or Windows Based Application. i.e. without loading DWG in AutoCAD, Is it possible to directly read the xRef details?
dimensions are to small to read in model space, paper space and plot preview.
