Yes it plays faster but is half the render time.ĭo not use slow pans or anything that you can be done in post production. Other ways to reduce crashing overheads.Ĭompress the timeline so 1000 frames becomes 750 or 500.

Do you have access to Backburner slave rendering? Try that as it has lower overhead and can render from just your laptop or ask your school to install backburner on all the workstations as that is what most schools and colleges would do if expecting students to render animations. 600x338 or 300x169 as it is better to deliver "something" than nothing. If it renders fine on CPU then reduce the resolution of your render to something tiny, e.g. Try the "Conserve memory" option in Mental Ray Translator options panel.

What is the reason for the crashing? Have you looked at Windows "Event Viewer" to find what the crash was? It could help explain why.
#MENTAL RAY FOR 3DS MAX 2018 DRIVER#
You can change it in GeForce Experience on the driver page, click the 3 dots icon, top right. If you are somehow using GPU and you have NVidia in your laptop then make sure you are using the Creative driver and not the Game Ready driver. Had to do that a few times back in the day. If you are a student, can you not just install latest 3DSMax, even 30 day trial and render using Arnold? Quite sure there was a Mental Ray to Arnold material conversion process to aid this.ĭoes Max+Mental crash on a simple scene like a spinning teapot?If no, start a new max scene and import/merge your crashing project into it. I don't use Max any more but I thought Mental Ray was always a CPU renderer.

I'm definetely not familiar enough with the software to try something like that).

I've tried every possible fix I found on the web, but it seems that unless I render without using the GPU (which is likely to damage my laptop if I leave it rendering an high quality scene for hours due to the high temperatures of the cpu) I can't render without using Mental Ray (which our professor requires and despite HUNDREDS of complaints, she is not willing to negotiate.).Ĭan anyone help me in any way? I will fail this exam if I don't provide the render as requested (I also have to provide the whole project folder, so I think she might notice if I try to cheat. The professor gave us the the installation file of Mental Ray, although the "Nvidia Professional Application Manager" that was installed alongside the renderer clearly states that it's missing a license for both Mental Ray and Iray (although Iray works for some reason). I'm using 3ds Max 2018 on (what I suppose is) the last version that supported Mental Ray before it was discontinued. That means you work smarter ? not harder ? by automating steps that used to take up valuable time.Hi, I'm an interior design student and for some reason our professor is obsessed with Mental Ray and wants us to use outdated software that crashes on 80% of our computers when trying to render. V-Ray Next Scene Intelligence delivers faster ray tracing, cleaner sampling and more accurate rendering.
