Hi Guys,

My 3dsMAx 2019 overwrite opened files every time I exit.

Hi kcpr-raffaE,

-1 SDK has two region render option:
A) Film Region Picker tool allows users to specify a region in the scene to set new values for Region Start and Region Size for Film Settings parameters which configures the render film. Although the resolution will remain the same, the film region is the only part that is rendered. Users may reset the film region back to its full size by double-clicking on the render viewport while the toggle is enabled.
B) Render Region Picker tool allows users to specify a region in the viewport. This assists in viewing changes quickly and also allows more control to reduce noise in specific areas. To use Render Region Picking, click on the icon located under the Render Viewport. Rectangular areas can now be selected in the viewport to which the rendering will be restricted. A feathered border is placed around the selected area. To disable this feature and return to rendering the whole image, click once anywhere in the viewport. The samples rendered in this region are taken into account in the samples per pixel statistics of the viewport. This represents the average samples per pixel over the full image.
All Octane plugin shall take this this approach; Octane for 3dsMAx will include Render Region Picker in the future version.

Dear Paride,

To be sure we understand each other, I'm attaching screenshots:

OC4 RC4 and earlier - Region Render doesn't clear all around:

The attachment RegionRender_O4 RC4.jpg is no longer available

versus

OC4 RC6 - every time Region Renders is enabled or changed/moved it clears everything around:

The attachment RegionRender_O4 RC6.jpg is no longer available

We need older functionality back

Hi kcpr-raffaEl,
3dsMax Film Region Picker works exactly like in SA.
I will ask to developers if possible to have previous preview around.

Hi,

I have ray epsilon issues on 6.08 (dark circles) no matter the value I put.

Everything switch back to normal when I'm on 6.07

6.08 is much faster at denoising though

Octane render motion blur don't work with Octane proxies, I need to convert back to polys.

OK, looks like that in 3ds Max we have Film Region functionality instead Render Region.


So, can we have Region Render instead of Film Region?

Although I thought 2019 fixed this, you might have the 3dsmax virus. Do you have two helpers in your scene that are frozen and also named something really weird with odd characters? Usually they're on the default layer but not always. Let me know.

Hi DartFrog,
yes It was, thanks.
I can not explain how my computer was infected.

Grab the security tools here:
https://apps.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/en/Det ... start=true

Infection usually comes from opening any infected scene. You open other people's scenes all the time so you were bound to get it. It's a real pain in the ass. Autodesk thinks it's from a form of copy protection from another script that somebody made and it accidentally had the side affect of overwriting files. So the security tools protects against that.

Edit: BTW, everybody in your office using 3dsmax should install that.
