Hey vray folks, as far as i remember vray saves before rendering, but i cant find where, any idea?

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.



Script:

(
	local sceneName = maxFilePath + maxFileName
	saveMaxFile sceneName quiet:true
)
