we have a master PC with 2 video cards and 4 slaves with 18 more video cards. When 3 slaves are on (16 video cards total) render time is 47 seconds per frame. But once we add another slave to total of 20 cards our render time becomes 1 minute. The scene is 6 Gb and it has phoenix liquids. Does it mean that network gets clogged up with so much data moving around or it is something else. I just never saw this before where more video cards makes slower rendering. Thanks

UPDATE ON THIS PROBLEM: It appears if the forth slave is on, rendering will slow down to almost no movement of the progress bar. As soon as slave is closed green bar speeds up. Not sure why. This PC always worked great. Also no errors at all.

well use something that max already does, bakes in diffuse/glossy/normal whatever and ideally I'd love an option to load it into standard materials.. but just baking anything by pressing one button would be great - last time I tried it was a mess and time consuming.. where's the latest info on the baking process?paride4331 wrote:Hi acc24ex,
how would you like it in Octane?
Regards?
Yes. With 3.08 and OSL, which is being actively worked on. OSL UX has taken a bit more time than planned to integrate into the Max plug-in workflow, but with this work nearly done, going to 3.09 (with AI denoiser) will be fast, since that is mostly handled in the core engine with little work on the plug-in side needed.ramone163 wrote:Maybe it is time for new release?
