I think I know what the problem was. When I disabled Displacement and resize textures it started to update much faster. Still not as fast as Octane though ...

Yes, I've set the engine type on CUDA mode, if that is what you mean ? I've tested this on small and complex scenes, on both scenes iray and octane are a lot faster.

Hello everyone, I've been working with vray for a year now, I'm a big fan ! Today my new PC arrived, I got a GTX titan graphics card which I thought would be a lot better at GPU rendering than my previous laptop card. sadly it's taking like 20 seconds before it even starts rendering (waiting for image data). I was wondering if the videocard was at the source of the problem so I checked if Iray and octane had the same problem. Shockingly they didn't, they update instantly. Does anyone know a fix for this ?

I replied yesterday, but it seems my reply got lost... I need to have those chairs in Revit for various reasons, but i've put them in max myself now and I'm going to hide his layer. I thought Revit had a good 3ds max compability, but it seems it still has flaws. Or I'm just not experienced enough. 3ds max seems to convert all my cilindrical objects to a mesh with a very strange wireframe (and a lot of polygons). Any workaround for this ?

Thanks for your response ! We need to have them in revit for various reasons... I've put them on separate layers in max and placed them in myself. I thought revit-max would be an easy workflow but geometry handling seem te be a bit different too. when I import cylinders they always have this strange wireframe. my performance is going down really fast too, renders take ages. Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hi there, I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this in the right category, I'm currently working on a large scale project where i take someone's revit file in max and render it. He told me he can't read any 3ds files into revit because it will make his file too slow. We need to place a lot of chairs in the scene, is there a way to somehow proxy them in revit? or link an object from revit to an object in max so it will be replaced ?
