I’ve just noticed that with Vray 5 the teapot button in VFB no longer renders the current frame only. It now does what the “Render Production” command does (the big Render button in the Render Setup window). This was not the case with Vray Next and the beta of Vray 5.
Is there something I’m missing here? Why was this changed and can I change it back to the old behavior where it only renders the current frame? Now every time I want to do quick test renders, it does a full production rendering of the whole animation sequence and starts saving files in the output folder.
It will do whatever is specified in the “target” rendering drop-down in the Render Setup dialog (see attachment). Set it to “Iterative Rendering Mode” and only the current frame will be rendered.
It might make sense to assume “Iterative Rendering Mode” always, will have to think about it.
Oh, ok. Thanks for clarification. It does work as expected when I change Target to Iterative. I’d love though if the old functionality is brought back. It was so much more convenient.
But I always loved it, that it was like the max “render last” button, I don’t have to witch back when rendering a sequence from the render setup! One more flyout to change. And I use it a lot switching bitwenn interactive and render one frame, than going to the rendersetup check or change range or something els, press render an render the sequence. At least that for me, it means that I allways have to change the render target and change it back after rendering a sequence. Yes there are other buttons in max I can use (the first thing I always do is to get back the render last button) but I work on 3 screens and so I use the nearest button.
