This suggestion is being made in anticipation of more Iray parameters being supported. There are numerous Iray parameters not yet supported via the plug-in. Admittedly several of them are less likely to be modified by average users, or they might only be needed in rare situations, but they...More
THE PURPOSE of this request is to make it easier to manage multi-frame (animation) Iray renders. CURRENTLY the render "Options" which control things like Denoise and Maximum Samples (iterations) are written into each and every .mi file. I SUGGEST the render Options should be written into...More
While Quality control may not be much useful for stills rendering, it might be quite valuable for rendering animations. Preset samples count for the entire export batch maybe too much for rendering specific frames in the animation sequence. Quality control might help to arbitrary lower samples...More
At the END of a .mi file, there is an instance group ("instgroup") and the render command. The instgroup contains a list of instances, which in this case is a list of all the objects which will be rendered. It makes no sense for the camera to attempt to render itself. I have confirmed that...More
According to the iClone manual, LOD does change tessellation level of the object: "LOD Effect: It can gradually decrease the number of the faces presenting objects for LOD (Level of Detail) feature, which avoids the sudden changes of objects in 3D scene when the camera zooms in or out...More
On the Tonemapper Template menu, if you pick one, there is no obvious way to return it to the original default setting. I had to open a new project to discover that the default template is "dscs315," which appears a long way down the list, and a user would never guess that was the original...More
This behavior might affect the ability to tweak an mdl material and test it on the fly. An advanced user may be willing to frequently adjust parameters and settings within the given .mdl material source code and test the result. However, iClone would never refresh the material after the...More
Please see Slide 1 for proposed draft of Background Renderer (BR) interface End user should be able to execute a single .mi file in the batch and render the whole or partial list of frames. Frames range...More
At present when the Iray render is finished there is no possibility to either read the whole render log, or to save a copy of it. As soon as a render is finished the log window can not be scrolled due to being locked by the "Complete" message panel, making it impossible to access the information...More
When you use the Iray Preview window, it uses some system RAM. The problem is it does not release that RAM when you close the preview window. It holds onto that memory until the next time you open the Preview window again, at which time it briefly drops the old memory contents and then fills...More
