GI : incremental add to load file

We often restart animation prepass after a crash due to not enough ram. So, we use ‘incremental add to current map’ but when just loading the scene, there is no current map ! So we need to render ‘from file’ to load the map, then switch to ‘inc add cur map’ and restart it. I think all ‘…add ti current map’ options should have an option to load a file first.

Not sure if it still works but I think in the past using the maxscript option to load an irmap put it into memory.

Yep, you can use a MaxScript command to load an irradiance map (see Chaos: Industry-leading design and visualization software for more details).

Best regards,
