import/get render slave list for DBR and diagnostic pass showing slow pixel areas

[jneilon]

Let me know if this exists but it would be great to import or get a render slave list when setting up distributed renders. Adding 30 servers by hand takes a while. I am sure there is a scripted way of doing this but would be great to have this built in.

The other "wish" is to have some sort of heatmap pass showing areas that are slow to render. This would help quickly fixing slow refraction areas or catching bad geometry.

The sampleRate render element is a decent indicator of the slow portions of the image.

The DR options along with the DR servers are listed in a text file called vray_dr.cfg in the 3ds Max plugcfg folder (normally something like %localappdata%\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\vray_dr.cfg). You can modify the file with any text editor or through the MaxScript functions for working with text files.
