Hello
Is it possible now or in the future to render out my animation sequence directly from 3dsmax?

When I export animated scenes from 3dsmax to standalone for render, they are a huge mess and difficult to navigate.

Thank you

making a little progress here...I found out I can render a sequence via render elements.
But as you can see from my screengrab below,

image on the left is what I see rendering in the viewport, image on the right is the frame that got saved.
Any clues for me?

Thank you

Hi, you are heading the wrong direction.
Just lower the number of "max. samples" under kernal settings to a reasonable quality/time and render animated sequence the common way.
I guess you rendered with the default max 16000 samples and found it takes forever to finish a frame.

Hi Akira,
Thank you for checking this out...but I did lower the max samples down to 500 for testing.
Check out the updated screenshot, it shows my kernel panel and my render elements panel.

Hope somebody can see my issue and help solve this.
Thank you
