    Hi,

    When DR is enabled, V-Ray saves a temporary file at:
    C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2 017 - 64bit\ENU\temp
    Unfortunately the scene is deleted at the end of the rendering job, so I don't think you'll find it there.

      Hi,

      You could also include the following MaxScript-File to force Max to save before every rendering, even if DR is disabled by putting it in the pre-render script slot as shown in the screenshot.
