Max Tip

I think i’ll start posting useful tips and tricks for the various apps.
And here’s a first for Max. Hitting Ctrl+N in any Spinner-box gives you an expression popup to do some math without using windows calc

Old experiments. Just for fun
Jun 4th
Just a few old experiments that were never really shown, brought to a final state:
gdm_shepherd was a farm management experiment trying to manage the renderfarm via a simple webinterface.
Monitoring of slaves with pingtimes and management of mode (VRay DR Spawner vs. Backburner server)
A different view to monitor jobs on the farm via WebUI. Custom PHP classes were used to query Backburner for information:
A small hint…

When rendering additional passes together with a beautypass and having passes like world coordinates, normals, UVs and alike be sure to exclude them from the AA (“Consider for Antialiasing OFF”) otherwise you will most likely render at MAX AA for every single pixel.
Why you ask ? because the sampler decides based upon brightness and contrast (amongst other things) if a pixel needs more samples or not. Worldspace positions are easily 5000 or even way more…that looks as if it was VERY bright to the sampler and hence he oversamples as much as you let him. Result ? You could also render Fixed Rate with SubDivs as your former Maximum setting
