Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Is there a trick to make the Render Setup dialog box display faster when using Vray with 3dsMax? Right now it takes 10 seconds, maybe up to 15-18 for the dialog box to appear after I enable it. I am guessing it has something to do with locating the license on the server, but I thought I would query the question, to see if anyone else had this problem, or came up with a solution to the problem.

Dave Buchhofer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Check the licence manager on the server http://servername:30304 and see if it gives you any hints, at one point i was having similar issues, where the machine was not finding the primary licence server, and was looking to the secondary (another coworkers machine) and taking a while to resolve it. Most of the time i get this its because it can't find the licence at all, and i find myself re-placing my dongle to fix. (Cavaet: it was one of the first dongles, literally as i picked it up at sig one year, so it may be due to long term dongle-death.) I also tend to have issues with the windows connection limit and the vray licence server of late, but only since installing RT, and mainly because the licences are on individual (Non server) machines so they get hit pretty hard for requests from the farm. poor initial choice on my part.

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Hmmm... everything seems in order. I only have information in the primary license server, and nothing in the secondary , and tertiary. Though there is a 0 in the port number slot. I tried putting the primary license server in all the slots, but that didn't seem to speed things up either. Maybe it is just the lag of my machine. Given that we probably have probably 150 people using Revit during the day the server can lag at times. Though I wouldn't imagine Vray would have to do much more than ping the server to see the license, then go about its mary way. If I ping the license server through command prompt, it takes less than 1ms. Edited December 30, 2009 by Crazy Homeless Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocratic3d Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In my pc it takes 1.5 sec to be appeared. It should not take that time. some thing is wrong with your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 That's unusually long, but if you can't find the cause, you could work around it by leaving the f10 dialog open and minimizing it; restoring it should be less than 1 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Actually, F10 opens and closes it, rather than minimizing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buchhofer Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 If you're feeling frisky, you can try out Procmon by sysinternals, and with a little creative filtering at least be able to at least diagnose whether its a network or a system issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Actually, F10 opens and closes it, rather than minimizing it. I meant leave the render panel open, but minimize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
