Cancel

[glorybound]

I am not sure if it is just me, or if it is just how it is, but canceling a render takes forever. I can wait 15 minutes for a render to cancel, and even longer when I am using PDF Manager.

Which V-Ray version is this?

Best regards,

[glorybound]

I am using 2.40.04

[vlado]

Ok, I think we had a problem like this that we fixed at some point, but I have to check if it went into 2.4

Best regards,

Bobby, aren't you using SolidRocks? I have an issue where it says "restoring materials" after render finish that sometimes takes very long. Do you see that message?

[glorybound]

It might be a combination of the two, but it doesn't happen with only solidrocks.

[glorybound]

I closed SolidRocks, started a render and I let it run for about 15 minutes, and hit cancel. This is what I am looking at for 27 minutes!



When I don't use PSD-Manager, the render stops in seconds.

psd-manager does nothing when the render was cancelled. However, before the render it will request the creation of certain G-Buffer channels that it may need (only if you use any of the mask generation features). So that is the only influence I can imagine if you cancel mid-render. The G-Buffer is handled entirely by 3ds max + V-Ray.

Here is a test to figure out if 3ds max/V-Ray maybe has trouble with the G-Buffer cleanup after the render:

Remove the psd-manager effect and try rendering to RPF format. In the RPF setup dialog enable the channels Material-ID, Object-ID, Node-Render.ID, Coverage, Transparency, Sub-Pixel-Weight. This will cause the 3ds max Framebuffer + G-Buffer to be created by 3ds max/V-Ray (similar to what psd-manager would usually request).

We get this too. So annoying with all the little delays. The add up over the course of a day/week/month...

[glorybound]

it has to be something in V-Ray. I say this, because when I change how I am rendering (different settings), I don't get the delay. same model, same everything, except different v-ray settings.

So is it possible to get us a scene that reproduces this to vray@chaosgroup.com ? We might be able to fix this.

[glorybound]

yes. let me work on getting you the scene when it is being difficult.

[glorybound]

it seems to be a multiscatter issue. New project, pretty simple one, and multiscatter is mucking things up.

[glorybound]

I guess multiscatter doesn't like proxies. I have been fighting this screen all day, and I tracked it down to multiscatter objects. When I got rid of the proxies, everything started to render fine.
