Vray Message Window Dissapears when rendering with RT GPU

[padre.ayuso]

Very stupid question, but when rendering with RT GPU Production Mode, sometimes my VRay Messages window disappears. This is not so much the problem as I don't know when it reaches the noise level I have set. I have had it and it usually happens that it reaches the Noise Threshold level and it looks like it is still rendering and it is only through VRay Message window that I can see when the rendering has actually finished. The rendering tab still stays open so sometimes I don't know how much more to go if at all.

Also, VRay message window is the only way I have to verify the progress of my rendering, as far as I know, and see how much more I have got to go.

Is there a way to get the Vray Message Window back while still rendering?

Have you got that issue with the latest 3.30.05?
Does it only happen when rendering with GPU or the same thing happen with CPU as well?

3dsMax interface is locked during the rendering so I'm afraid it is not possible to invoke the Vray Messages window until the render ends, however all the information is also stored in the VRay Log file which by default is written here: "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\vraylog. txt".

Rendering progress could be also monitored by the Rendering windows that opens when render is being started.

Yes, I have that issue with 3.3.05. I have not tried CPU, I can try in a bit. However, it is funny that your monitor works and mine does not. Literally my monitor bar does not show as progressing at all so I never know how much it is left. I use 3DS Max 2013. The bar shows the Light Cache, it shows everything else, however when the rendering actually begins, the bar shows blank.

It might be because the GPU is utilized at 100% and it can't update the window properly, would be a good idea to test and see if it works or not with the RT CPU engine or to decrease the performance settings of RT GPU.
