Maxwell Render | Official public forum

it renders extremly slow!

hi, i did open a 1.1 scene that rendred fast and nice in old plugin.
but now it keeps staying at sampling levels below 1 for 10 or 20 minutes and almost no progress in the renderview.
the small preview looks nice and correct.

in the old plugin it rendred the scene noisefree in 1h.

what can that be?
thanks for help, Tyron-any idea?

cheers

p.s. when i try to open the mxs in studio it crashes...
so something must be wrong with the resulting mxs file from cinema.

please help, this is a job i have to finish for next week.

edit: and i have no channels and no cinema shaders. all native maxwell tags.

cheers

ok i found out that somehow the settings always jump back to preview instead of rs1.

somehow i am confused how to use the new settings object. i though that the top most active objects are the setting for rendering, somehow it seems to take the ones from the default settings.

also sometimes for some reason my time is set back to 0h despite i had it set to 11h previously.

any recommendations how to work with the settings object, or things that one should not do?

The maxwell render object takes it settings from the render control panel which sets the default values for this object. Each time you insert this object into a scene it pulls settings from the render control panel. I think there is a bug with the GMT setting.
