Please allow us to cancel render when DR is being used but no nodes are available

[stevesideas]

I have 10 render nodes and sometimes forget to turn off DR when I'm testing a render when the nodes are not on. I have to wait for the entire set of DR nodes to list in the vray output window before I can cancel the render and turn off DR.

Just a frustrating little thing that if fixed would be nice

I think it would be just as good if DR rendering/exporting scenes/sending to other slaves etc etc would be separate process that would not bug/slow down maya/max. I know the translation has to happen. But sending that scene and so on maybe it could be run in background?

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
We've added it into our feature-request list and we will update this thread when we some some updates on that matter.a

You can always send a backburner job to do the DR, or run 3dsmaxcmd to do it outside of your 3ds Max session; I don't think this should be a part of V-Ray. The most we can do is maybe provide a MaxScript that does the 3dsmaxcmd thing.
