3ds 2012 problems

[bertjow1]

Which version of 3ds max is the least stable? I have a 2012 and a lot of problems with it since during the rendering power in my house goes down .. anyway it's working terrible. Opening even simple project takes 5 min, and opening material edytor where some vraysky or hdri is set in materials slots takes even more time.

 

Maybe somehow setting have been changed in 3ds...

 

How about disc space 12 GB on system partition under WIN 7 is good enought?

 

 

i7-3820, ASUS P9X79 PRO 16GB RAM and some shity graphic card - radeon 4650.

 

 

best regards

Performance in Max it been in decline since version 9 some people here will jump and say that the latest is the best and greatest, but I think it depend of what type of project you do and how you organize your scene, I constantly do large Arch Viz animations and I don't trust the software 100% period, so I always divide the scene in several XRef, keep controlled textures sizes, proxies render separated layers and what not.

Max 2012 release is more stable than Max 2013, and 2014 have a faster viewport and the menu is a mess. Now if you have electric problems while rendering you may be experiencing more hardware problems than software, you need to take care of that first then find a more optimized workflow.

A better video card will help too, Max video performance is Direct X driven so NVidia cards have a lead here.
