I have an issue that every time I render a scene with photometric lights and have the exposure control set to Mr. Photographic exposure, outdoor night time, I get flicker. It appears to be an interlacing problem, but looks like the lights are flickering bright and dim. I am rendering as a .jpg sequence.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some windows that i'm trying to simulate light coming from. I'm just assigning a constant shader to some polygons. The polygons are animated moving from a distance to the camera but i can't stop them flickering. Each window seem to take turns at turning itself on and off!
No FG in the scene, i've tried all the different filter types, set the sampling contrast to .01 and tried different options such as same sample pattern on all frames but i can't eliminate it.
I've enclosed an original picture and my 3d scene. the problems lies in the shadow on both sides of the lamp which is too hard edged. and normally, there is a grid right beneath the cylinder bulb, but when applying that grid in 3ds max the whole scene becomes speckled. must have something to do with the light being blocked by geometry.
how to achieve a soft shadow as shown in the ref pic?
i have ATI firepro v5900.. How can i enable mental ray gpu rendering in 3ds max.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwe'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 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.
Mental Ray Fatal error when rendering
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got this scene of a roman temple like structure, with the floor being slightly reflective. It is covered in a Volume light completely. When rendered it gives a really nice effect to it, however takes ages to render. And I need it to render faster.
Am rendering it with mental ray, and with the Volume Light deactivated, it takes about 30 seconds to render the whole frame. When activating it rendering less then 1/4th of the frame takes 4:30 minutes.
Now this is not gonna work well when I'm gonna render a movieclip, so I'm gonna ask the following: Is there a good, fast alternative for that volume light?
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 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to render using the recessed can lights and they light my rendering but the lights themselves don't look line they are emitting light. It looks odd. I have the same problem with some of my 2x4 fixtures where light does show on the floor but the lights themselves don't seem to be on.

I thought I had this all working. And it did to an extent. When I plug a single displacement map into my standard lambert shader slot in maya, all works fine and dandy. However, as soon as I try to use multiple displacement maps, I am getting the problem that I had in the previous post, which is that the negative values are lost. I sort of understand why this is happening - that is when using a layered shader it uses alpha as luminance, and therefore the values don't go below zero, but I don't know what to do about it!? I have tried a network with set range etc but it just makes a mess. Any straightforward method of using multiple .exr files in a single shader for mental ray in maya?
I've Recently updated to Photoshop CC on windows 8, and I'm getting a really bad flicker whenever I use it (it feels like I'm having a seizure). I have seen on various forums as well as in the offical Adobe section that this is an issue. The recommended solution was to reduce graphic processing setting to basic. I did but nothing has changed. I also read that people had turned graphic processing off completly, this also didn't work.
I'm am using a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 in a Dell xps.
Back in the late 60s and 70s I had a 8mm video camera. One of those take 50' of film and send it off for developing. In the 80s I got my first talky Hi8 video camcorder. Back then I had to set up a screen, set my camcorder next to the projector and shoot away. Now I am transferring these videos to DVD so I can open them in VS X3. As might be guessed there is a lot of flicker in the videos.
Is there any way to Eliminate this flicker during post edit in VideoStudio X3?
The issue happening when 3Ds Max is NOT on maximize viewport mode and showing 4 viewports at the same time and viewports start to jump, flicker and change randomely as if there is no specific view assigned for each viewport, and that causes a problem when I want to see and work with my model in 4 different views at the same time.
I'm cureently using 3Ds Max 2013 and previously the issue was exactly the same for 3Ds Max 2012. I should add that this issue is gone when I use OpenGL, but I really want to use it with "Nitrous" feature which gives more realistic real-time results.

I have just bought a new laptop to try and be a bit more mobile.I have upgraded and loaded AutoCad 2012, no problems so far.The problem I have is when the program is opened and I hover the mouse off the drawing area over the ribbons etc,I unplugged my wireless mouse and used the touch pad as I thought the mouse was the problem, no good.
I have checked the display and graphics drivers and they are all up to date.I did a bit of a search regarding this problem. One suggestion was to change the display settings from 32bit to 16bit, this did no good. Also another was to change the Hardware Acceleration, and some people said this worked for them. However I tried this but the button was greyed out and wouldn’t allow me to change.I had no problems with XP Pro, I am beginning to hate this Win 7 operating system, I can’t understand why Microsoft always have to change things when it’s not broken.I eventually wanted to have this Laptop plugged into my 27inch monitor and use it as a desktop computer, but have the mobility.
When I publish to Flickr, I want to use a white watermark for some and others I want to use my black watermark (because the background colors on the photo warrant one or the other, otherwise the watermark will not show). Do I have to publish each photo separately and not in a combined group or is there a way to indicated which photo I want the white watermark on and which I want the black watermark on?

Say I have 2 clips, one of movie A, one of Movie B. I want one to play for half a second, then the other to play for half a second. Repeat for about 30 seconds. I could take each clip, split it up into half second increments, then insert each one alternating. But that is about 60 splits and a lot of redundant mouse work!! See the problem??
Is there a way, either through effects or other dev tools, to speed this process up?
Here is example of the effect i'm trying to achieve:

The footage affected is 720p at 29.97fps in a timeline with the same settings. The raw footage appears fine. Once effects are added, the image stutters. I have rendered the preview files and the issue remains the same, likewise when exported.

I'm using the metallic preset under the arch and design for mental ray and i've added a scratch bump map. It shows perfectly on the material editor but doesn't show up at all on the actual rendered image.
I've attached the image to show you.
