3Ds max GUI lag - long save since 2013... any ideas?

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Hey

Has any1 ever figure out how ti fix max GUI lag and long save files?

I have m.2 driver 3.4gb/read/2.4gb write or something like that and saving 200mb file takes 2 min more or less.

Also max super laggy, Openning F10 settings can take up to a minute or more... am I the only one?

Sounds all slow to me. Maybe provide a test scene so we can compare times?

On thing regarding save times - check if the option Compress on Save (Customize > Preferences > Files Tab) is on/off. Turning it off should save faster but results in larger max files. A fast SSD will not wait until the data is compressed by the CPU this way. A similar option exists in Photoshop for the same reason for example.

I did not do any measurements but I have noticed that after upgrade to 3.5 my scenes take noticeable more time to save that in previous versions with similar weight.

I was going to say exactly this. Compress on save can really slow things down.

As for opening up settings, is your v-ray license accessed over the network? That's the only thing I can think of.

Hey

Cant use uncompressed, scenes end up being 5gb+

Every scene is slow. Just lag after lag. Even opening Composite shader with 5 + textures in it can take up to 10 seconds +

Vray License is remote....hmmmmm


SSD speed is M.2 Sm 961 1tb Samsung.

Ahhh, so the 200MB scene files are compressed from 5GB? That definitely explains the slow save.

As for everything else, are the textures on the network or local? How big are the maps? For a test, I would take a scene you know is slow, move the vray license/dongle to your local machine as well as all the assets and then see how it runs. If it's still really slow then something might be amiss, but if not then it's probably taking time over your network to shift everything around.

Hey

No sorry, atm the last test I did was 2.8gb-3gb data down to 750mb compression save time around very long :- ( I'll measure but I guess 5-15 mins.

All textures/models/proxies are on the same HDD in local workstation that runs M.2 driver.

I dont think its vray related. I changed to Iray for test and the same result... super slow GUI Drawing and refresh.

Attached short video example.

This gets only longer on bigger scenes...SettingsGUI.zip
