  • DR with Max Populate High Res feature

    Can you use DR when populating a scene with a crowd using the Poplulate (high res) feature of Max? I have not been able to get it to work so far. Now I am using the "populatehighres" installer on all of my slaves to see if that will get it to work. Will that help?

    Yes this is what you have to do.

    In addition to a higher res mesh, the high res installer installs slightly higher res textures. So to render correctly you have to install it on all slaves

    To be honest they should have called the default one "low-res", and the high res one they should have called "medium res", in my opinion
    Kind Regards,

      You will also have to re-path your temp folder to one that can be seen by the network. The maps for populate are generated "randomly" when you simulate the people, these maps are stored in the max temp folder. The DR slaves will need to see those maps.
