MR: render presets

[nisus]

Hi all,

 

I'm having trouble making a good MR-renderpreset when the following situation occurs: changing from a fully enlightened scene to a very quick basic render preset without any lighting (in the way of max default scanline without lights in the scene) and back

We have a default setup for all of our scenes that go from modelling over camera/viewpoint-study to lighting. We do all our lighting in Max7 with MR and a daylight system. But once the lighting and materials are setup, we often have the need to tweak some of the modelling. For this we want fast render times for as much instant interactive as possible.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to make a preset in MR that temporarily uses NO LIGHT.

Making a script to erase the lighting setup and activated a scanline render does not work because we do not want to make the lighting study again, nor want to do merges from lighting.

Making a mother-file from which to render the model in an Xref is not an option either (to hard to explain now).

It should be just flipping between two presets.

 

Can anyone help me on this?

Any help on how to setup a scene in MR with a daylightsystem, but without rendering the light is most welcome. My test are all blown out at this moment...
