new version (2.30.01) has screwy progress bars :)

[super gnu]

watching my imap calculate as i often do. last 2 prepasses, ive noticed that the prepass finishes when the progress bar is only approx. 50% of the way across...


how odd...!

dunno if its just this scene for some reason or if its a bug?

Did you use DR for this?

nope no DR is enabled.. im doing some more prepasses now and ive got the same issue again today. not a problem as such but a bit strange and throws off all the eta calculations by 50%.. note this only affects the imap calcs, not the final render.. (im not actually using sec. bounces at the mo so i dont know if it will affect the lc too..

Ok. Which 3ds Max version? I remember seeing this at some point, but I'm unable to reproduce it right now...

ok so this morning its not doing it.. afaik the only major things i changed, were a) i removed a (the only) fast sss2 material from the scene, and b) i removed some animated (simple keyframed) geometry that shouldnt have been in there.

Ah, thanks for the pointer; it was probably the sss prepass.
