Okay, I have a pretty simple scene that I am trying to render. I set the Output to HDTV as a AVI. When I play the finished AVI however it looks horrible, garbled and unrecognizable.
(It works normal when I don't select HDTV, but HDTV is fantastic looking.)

When I render a 3D scene in Photoshop CS6, is the GPU of my system of any use? Whenever I render any 3D scene in PS, I have noticed that the GPU stays idle, it does nothing, everything seems to be done by the CPU. Is it supposed to be this way?
OpenGL _is_ correctly enabled in PS and I have just one video card in my system (GTX660 Ti 3GB).
I cannot get any lights to appear in my 3d scenes until I begin rendering. I have installed all updates. In fact, this started when I installed the Creative Cloud update back in December. Also, how do I get rid of the annoying IBL preset?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use film of actors to match the lips for the characters. I am struggling because rendering is taking a few hours (1050 frames in scene 1) and when I get the final product I am seeing things that I need to go back and change. Scrubbing the timeline does not seem to be very accurate..... and this brings me to question 2. I am using film, brought into 3ds max as an image sequence and put as a material onto a plane in the background (then I hide it for rendering).
I am using scanline renderer, but I would have thought that quicksilver or iray would have been faster, they seem to be taking forever...
There are two characters, both have bitmap skin images and are wearing shirts using a bitmap image. The background is Alpha and that is it, there is one spotlight (I would like more but I have read that lights take lots of rendering time)
So, Question 1- Is there a better way to preview a scene - I am trying to get natural looking movement for characters and failing (I only have film of faces for lips)
Question 2- Can I improve my rendering speed?
Question 3 - Am I using reference film correctly?
I'm working with a procedure to render the same scene (same camera position, same light, same lens, same output size, etc) several times due material change. The number of renderings of the same object may easily reach thousands because the scene objects may receive hundreds of different materials at the same time.
Due the scale and repetition of this render process I was wondering if there is a way to pre-render what doesn't change from render to render to try to speed up the process as much as I can. The ideal solution is to do the next Render by reusing all the calculations made previously (even if I have to save a temporary render info - not sure this is even possible inside 3ds Max).
The ideal world would be having a baked max file waiting just for the material replacements and quickly generate the rendered image as fast as possible.
I know some different material properties may affect light and shadows but I think 3ds Max already separate this Render step.
My aim is to automate this process reducing the overall rendering time without wasting resources to recalculate what haven't changed.
Every time I render a scene one side of my building are always solid black. How can I make the shadows be more transparent?

Might come up with a tutorial on how I did this in a few days :P
not be able to go on to something else in a project because I have lines trailing behind my cursor, forcing me to use the undo key or to choose a different, less intrusive tool. Small problem I know, but this has kept me stuck for two days. I did find an answer for an older version that involved about 4 or 5 steps, which I found incredulous, since all I have to do is click once to select a tool. Anyway, the instructions didn't match my version (2.8.4) I hope the answer turns out to be simple, and does not involve multiple steps, because I use the tools a LOT.

Depending on how big changes one makes, it takes between 10 sec and 60 sec to update. Considering the complexity this is ok.
But the problem is that it is difficult for the user to tell if the update is complete. I have tried to have the last line in my driving rule to show a messagebox: "Updating done". But the messagebox fires to early, and pauses the remaining updating. Even if I call InventorVb.Rebuild and/or ThisDoc.Document.Rebuild in advance.

what is the best format to use for my finished video project. The video format is currently MP4. I have imported the video to add and edit the audio and video portions of these videos. I would now like to export the finished project so that I can both embed the videos with controller on my website as well as put them in a zip file for potential clients so that the can download the set of videos then play them back with controller included with video. I would also like the format that I use to prevent user edits or tampering. If so what format is the best to use for the requirements presented?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have just put together a 20min video and have several times created an mpeg file on the hard drive as I edit different parts, so that I can see how it comes along on a main TV thats networked to my PC. The footage is from two Panasonic HD cameras and is filmed in AVCHD.
The last two copies I have rendered have 4 scenes with noticeable jumps/stutter. They are all taken from and are part of a clip 146, the music track dosent jump, just certain parts of the scene in the video. This jumping is intermittent in about 30 seconds and the rest of the 20min film is fine. No filters or adjustments have been made to these scenes and they were fine up until yesterday. I tried a second render but its the same.
I would like to know what causes it so I can either avoid this happening again or avoid VS altogether as I have put in a lot of time and work into this 20min video and I don't want to have to do it again, I really want something I can rely on. I have had VS from the very earliest version and I have found that these bugs keep cropping up.
UPDATE:I have done further tests and it is ok if I "Create Video file" Same as Project Settings" BUT if I "Create Video file" DVD Video" it stutters/jumps. I have attached the properties of the scene now.
Most of the footage is Panasonic AVCHD and I use Two Pass Encode. Am I using the correct settings for this type of film. I want to film in the highest quality so that I can copy to blue ray and standard DVD.
