I want to render a scene. In Render Setup/Render Output/Save Files, the Save File box is ghosted, so I can't save the files. What's causing this? I tried rebooting Max, but that didn't work either.
View 1 RepliesWhen 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?

I 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?

I have tried for three days to get my scene files for 3ds Max to open. I have completely removed and reinstalled everything pertinent to 3ds Max, including the scene files. Every time I try to open a file such as battlefield start, all I get is "open file failed".
I have tried everything possible to get the files to open. I installed two different zip files extractors, to make sure that the files were extracting correctly. 7Zip says the files are corrupted when I try to extract the, so I reloaded the files but got the same results. I also used Bitzip to extract the files, but nothing happens. Give me the exact procedure I should be following to download and extract these files?
I have a large scan project (Scene 5.0's new file structure) that contains a few registered workspaces (*.fws) and I would like to import at least one into AutoCAD 2013.

As soon as I hit 'Create' I get an error that says 'FAILURE! Fail to open scan file" and nothing happens. I can import *.fls, but they are not registered.
Does FARO not support AutoCAD 2013?

I am not able to save the changes that I make to the starting position of my scenes thumbnails when I use a Thumbnail Menu to create my DVD. I am using Video Studio X4 with Service Packs 1 and 2 installed running on Windows XP Home, SP 2 with all updates installed and DirectX 9.0. The scene changes work fine when I Preview them but they are not saved when I close the Create Disk sub-menu. When I return to the “Menu and Preview” section of the Create Disk sub-menu, the Main Menu scene change is present as is the Chapter 1 scene change but the other chapter scene changes are gone. What can I do to correct this?

I am using VS X4 on windows 7. I have an .AVI file which I captured from a VHS tape so it includes sound. The video is 105 minutes long and the file size is 21.9 GB which is huge. I brought it into a project, edited as necessary including making adjustments to the sound in the AVI file, added titles, transitions, and an additional sound track. When I render this project to make a video file it takes a very long time and the resulting .wmv file is huge (11.2GB). I hate to think what it would be to make a DVD. Is there some thing I should do differently to avoid the rendering time and the size of the files?
View 6 Replies View RelatedLR Rendered my D3 and D3s Raw files very closely to the Nikon software and the camera jpgs, but since I have started using a D4, I am noticing a dissapointing difference between the LCD rendering, the jpgs. and the LR raw rendering of my files. I think I last saw this in LR2, with early D3 files, but it's been a while.
So if I shoot a NEF file and a JPG file at the same time, the JPG files look really good, the same sweet goodness I saw on the LCD. Now I have been doing this a while, and I know about camera profiles, custom camera profiles, and that Raw files need a little massaging, but I don't want to break out the nikon software to get the best results from my raw files, and that's what I have been doing lately on my final picks.
I am attaching a sample. Left - Right, in camera jpg, jpg from view nx2, LR jpg from untouched nef (camera standard profile). You will notice the skin tones and the dynamic range are best on the left, in camera jpg.
I am using VideoStudio X6 Pro.
I have been doing video editing for a local kids Theatre company (freebie) and I am not a professional.
They have changed their video camera and they have provided me MTS video format.
Playing the MTS file in windows media player, the video is crystal clear.
It looks ok in VideoStudio but after it is rendered to a DVD its quality has dramatically dropped .... pixilation being the main issue.
I have tried using various trial converters and converting it to an AVI or MPeg2 format first and then editing it but I am still getting very poor quality output.
The final compression is very small (if any) ....
I had about 40 mins of video, so the mpeg2 file should not have to be compressed, but the final dvd was far worse than the actual video file.
How can I get the best results from using an MTS file format ??????
I mostly use Max for 3-D walkthroughs of architecture models I design in Revit, and in all of my renderings I have computer monitors and televisions. For effect I would like to make the monitors appear as though they are in use during the walk through, nothing fancy, just a standard home-screen would do.
Is it possible to insert .jpg or png screen-shot files in place on the monitor screens to make these objects look active, and how would I accomplish this task?

View 12 Replies View RelatedMy Photoshop is corrupting files in a very destructive fashion, and it seems to be tied to the live rendering of gradients. Not just blur filters, as in this thread [URL] but opacity adjustments in layers, and hue/brightness shifts. This happens usually in files with large dimensions, but not necessarily complicated layer structures.
This type of corruption, which renders blocks, tesselated shapes, or inverts/fills odd layers, seems to be a problem for multiple users, but I haven't seen a solution.
I think I may be the first person to link it directly to the live rendering of gradients- rather than just the blur filters. Anything that has to render a gradated shift across the image seems to be the culprit. Usualy starting as a solid, and ending as a transparent. However, simply adjust hue/brightness over an opaque layer will make the corruption happen as well. Which leads me to believe that this corruption is caused by live on screen rendering of gradient shifts.
Here are my specs:

Mac OSX v.10.7.5
3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

I am getting very poor rendering quality for HD files. If the clip is “untouched” by VS it will render fine. However any changes to the clip either by adding transition, modifying brightness, color, adding title overlay etc. causes significant lost of quality and creates very flickery output with jerky movements.
Original clip

Same clip but rendered by VS X4

Here are the steps to do the test:
1.Download files from provided links:
a)Original clip : [URL]
b)Project file : [URL]
c)Project screen shot: [URL]
2.Create folder in your C dirve called “Test” and place downloaded files in it.
3.Open provided project file in VS X4. This should have the original clip placed on the time line twice. The first one is not modified clip and the second one has modified brightness just to force the rendering)
4.Render it to the file using MPG Optimizer. (i.e. Share -> File -> MPG Optimizer -> Accept -> Save) This should produce AVCHD 1920 x1080 60i file. See the project screen shot “Test.jpg” as a reference.
5.Play both source and rendered files in Windows Media player or TV and compare the smoothness of movements. R

Your mpeg-2 files will finish rendering with SP2, but the rendered file will have audio distortions. Corel has a patch to repair it (only send to someone who calls Corel & complain about mpeg-2 render problems), but the patch causes a hiccup in the preview playback of the mpeg-2 clip just after the rendering is finished. The result only plays smooth after pause and starting of the playback from beginning again.
