I'm getting a render error on my reflections, at first I thought it was a distributed render/network problem, but it also comes up in a non-distributed render. I've tried raytraced and mapped reflections and it still appears. My environment map is an HDR image, but it also happens with a tif file. It's like the reflection level is changing between buckets.
View 1 RepliesI what to know who many max users use the DBR feature, because i hear from AD that this is a very rare used feature.
I use it very often for previews and sometimes for final rendering, because it's faster to activate (compared with NetRendering and split scanlines)
I am hardly trying to animate a fractal texture applied to mental ray reflection blur value of a blinn material. I keyframed the time value of the fractal: 0 for the first frame and 5 for the 180th frame(the last frame of the animation). If I batch render the scene all the frames look identical. If I render several frames in Maya render view by jumping from frame to another frame I get the same result: no change of texture. But, if I play the animation before rendering a frame in render view they look different that is I have an animated texture. I wonder why the texture does not animate? Amazingly, the fractal preview does animate! I tried to set the maximum value for time, that is 100, I changed the Time Ratio to the square root of the Frequency Ratio with no effect.

I am rendering an interior animation of a church for a client and after rendering a few frames with backburner on my offices network, I noticed that a lot of the frames have black faces that appear on the walls, then disappear in other frames. In particular the central column in the first attached image, the second image is how it should look. I've created both photon maps for GI and Final gather maps for most of the animation.

I used all arch and design materials. Some are used from material library. I am not really convinced with the output i made. I think there in nothing in the scene that making the render too high.

I just finished installing autodesk 3ds max 2012-64 bit. There's a small problem that im facing due to which my work is getting delayed.
Description:
1. The model is completed.
2. Renderer is assigned to 'mental ray'.
3. When in the material editor, when i click on "Arch and Design", the drop down template is MISSING.
Installation was perfectly fine.
Currently when ever I render an image using Inventor 2013 the reflection shows a parking lot. It doesnt seem like it matters what type of material I choose or the color that I choose. I have found some older fixes that date back to 2008 but nothing for 2013.This link is the only thing that I can find and as I said it is for 2008.

How to get 3D Soft Shadows to work properly in Action with an ATI 5870? I'm getting massive render errors. The best way to describe it is it looks like Z buffer errors. Or in 3D when 2 polygons share the same plane. Lots of black jaggies across the whole frame.

The blue one is a correct tangent normal map created from a sphere in max 2011, the colored one is the the one created inside max 2012 from the same objects and settings, and the last is another sample of normals generated in max 2012.

I have made several renders in the Scanline renderer, I've tried to capture as much detail as I can squeak out of it, setting it to the Catmull-Rom filter, Light Tracer, Max Star 2.5, and the like. It creates nice renders for game assets. However, if I switch it to Mental Ray, it seems that a lot of the details get washed out. Are there any 'base setting' to capture every nook and cranny better?

How is it possible for Mental Ray to give me an out of memory error on a Windows 7 professional 64-bit machine using the 64-bit Max Design? I have 4GB of physical memory, but whenever a program needs more memory Windows allocates virtual memory to it, so theoretically my memory limit should be my hard drive space. However, when I try to render my scene with a little less than 200k polys with a displacement map on it (trying to get grass), the task manager shows 3dsmax.exe using up to 4.3GB of commit memory (4gb working memory), then it crashes.
I've set Windows to use up to 16gb for my pagefile, so it seems like mental ray isn't actually 64-bit since it crashes right at the 4gb limit of a 32-bit program.

we're currently doing an animation of a walkthrough of an airport where we're getting these strange artifacts when rendering after creating the final gather pass.
We're using only mr daylight system to light the scene, to get an all white soft-shadow render. Only three types material, diffuse white, glossy white and glass (all mr A&D). The glossy material gets blown out and we receive strange red and green artifacts here and there in the model.
We use mr Photographic Exposure Control.
I am searching for the "mental ray message window" in the 2012 version. ok i've got the German version, but there is only a "rendermeldungsfenster"(render message window) where only the errors are shown. is there any other possibility to see how many final gather points are in the scene?
greetings, mredl
I saw something about being able to render faster using network rendering for mental ray, but I'm not sure where I've seen it, nor do I know how it works.
If this is possible it would be great, since a scene I tried rendering had an ETA of about 51 hours. So I turned off ray traced shadows, seems to have lowered the rendering time quite a bit, but I'm still gonna end up with about 26 hours of rendering. If network rendering could bring that time down, that would be great.
I just tested some of my scenes from Max 2011 in 2012, and rendering is in average about 30% slower than in 2011.
I am attaching pictures for reference. It is obvious that they are 100% identical, there is no difference quality wise, but a significant difference performance wise. I will add some more result comparisons on more complex scenes to confirm the problem once they finish rendering. I am willing to provide my scenes to Autodesk if interested to solve this issue ASAP.
