Hi Guys, I ve ran into a situation with one of my scenes where it is taking ages to render in Mental ray (studio max 2014). The render size is 600x600 with draft render settings everything set to low in the render window settings. I then looked into my CPU usage and noticed that it fluctuates between 2% and 40% and never reaches 100%. I will normally leave to pc to do its own thing without interruption. usually it hangs round 10-20% for most of the time. I have enable Multi-threading, set the 3D Max to highest priority in process tab and affinity is on all CPUs. I noticed with another scene the CPU will only reaches 100% usage when the render is nearly complete. Also pre render tasks for these scenes will take longer than usual calculating. I have exhausted my search for an answer, please help. If I have left vital information out please let me know and I will post it. PC specs are: 2 CPUs - Xeon E5620 @2.40GHz = 16 threads Qaudro 4000 24 GB RAM SSD 250 GB AND 2x 1TB HDD

Hi everyone, im really stumped here - please have a look at the pic i have attached - i dont know how to fix this issue. Im using 3ds Max 2014 with VRay 2.40.04 Nothing out of the ordinary with settings, no network rendering, no strange plugins. I feel its a VRayProxy issue as its only the VRay Proxies giving this look - everything else renders fine. I have tried to reimport everything from start to finish and nothing helps. This is actually Evermotion Exterior Vol 18 scene 005 - i simply opened and clicked render

Good evening, I dont know whats going on ... i tried to delete some data from my HDD but didnt touch any files or folder of my 3Ds Max application. But today i wanted started 3Ds Max and everything i got was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZJ1SHS15JU I read this thread which says that it could be a messed up ini file after he installed a plugin: http://forums.cgarchitect.com/30111-vray-failed-innitialize-dlls.html so i searched my ini files but couldnt find any wrong path in it. also I did a registry search with Ccleaner to find broken or corrupt reg file but that didnt help, too :-( maybe someone got the same problem and know the answer please help me

Hi, PFA, We have just now upgraded to 3d s max 2014, But sometime while rendering interior files we face the error mentioned in the image. Previously we used max 2012 and 2013 but we have not gone across such a problem, Please provide your valuable opinions for solving this problem.
