Hi everyone, I got a question. Sorry for disturb. After i open 3dmax then i find my subburb tools. i only got solid rock one but i still cannot find flywiz script. i had already copy paste the 2 files to ui/microscript there. i follow website instruction. but i still cannot find flywiz at my subburb. May i know can anyone direct me to figure it out this problem that i'm going through?

thanks a lot

Hey jerome,

i want to tell you about a problem when i use both of your scripts, hope we can find a solution to this.

first i create a scene and tune it up with "SRocks" on production settings.

then i fire up flywiz and start a LC+IRmap calculation but even on a 12gig ram, LC pass stalls...it takes more than 12gigabytes of ram to calculate a LC when LC sample size is set to 0.002cm.

i can only fix it by increasing sample size to 1.00cm.

btw, i use "deadline" manager for the farm and it uses saved files so,

a feature request for flywiz:

When i click "LC calculate" button, it can create a max file with apropreiate settings for LC, instead of initiating a render.

same goes for the IR map calculations aswell.

how bout it :)

Hey Jerome!

crystal3d · 2010-12-28

it crashes on lightcache calculation if i use it in conjuction with SR 0.97.

it crashes even one 12gig workstation so its a problem.

what i do to over come this is , increase sample size of LC samples to 0.001 to 1 cm.

Fantastic script

Hi

The Flythrough animation wiz and Solid Rock 0.97 is the most fantastic script I've ever used, thanks for your great effort guys you just know what we need.

Personal if not in others mind these script would be "Better" if it has the fallowing :

1-By using the fly through animation wiz when you click on "Achieve the whole sequence (1+2+3) in one go!" it actually stop on step 3 and ask me to open the IrrMap. it will be great if it can load the final automatically by its self.

2- I am not sure that this script was also meant to work with network render, but I have actually try to push the rendering to blackburner and it work fine except i have to do every things manually which make the script useless in Network render.
It Will Be much Better also to provide the script with network render option and customize the setting for using the server for LC & IrrMap. or Distributed rendering!!

3- the third and final part which can make your script flywiz and SR "Rock" is providing a preset method to render fly through animation with moving Objects specially with the "use of camera path in Vray sp4.

I Am Hopping to See Version 1.0 of Solid Rock with Flythrough animation wiz together as one integrated script solution which will take all the "VRay-headache" away

Again, this is fantastic script
thank you in advance for Version 1.0

greate scripts, but can you add option on time output using range value.

cheers.

Backburner rendering?

Hi, fantastic script. It is possible to submit the final render job over to Backburner? It would help a lot.
Again thanks for the straightforward script.

(from 3dspot.com)

1.20. Render frame 435:

You can notice that in places where the camera gets close to a wall in the scene, the light cache samples are smaller and more noisy. This is because the light cache Scale is set to Screen by default. This is fine for still images, but for animation we would like a more even sample distribution. To achieve this, we will need to use the World option.

Flythrough Anim Wizard LC presets

Can I change the suggested settings for LightCache subdivisions? I want to use another subdivisions and i want to change the period of irradiance map frames...Can I?

Thaks...And sorry for my english.

Thanks for the tool, it seems very useful. I am not sure about the results, yesterday i used your script for Exterior and Run scene, 800x600 pixels, got from the script 2837 samples for LC and World scale (following Cecofuli's comment), i got better results without script with 800 samples on LC and the same IM - Medium-Animation, here 1º, 2º and 3º (Single frame mode) results:

I think it's the lc which is giving the black splotches, doing Single renders is no problem (but get flickering errors....)

Regards

Francisco Hermida · 2009-11-16

As usual Fantastic script!! you need do a 3ds max Subburb version, everything would be better :)

jamoka · 2009-11-15

This script is great.It is just what I am looking for, very useful and userfriendly, I like it very much very functional.

If I have this before I could easily render my architectural tv ad.(http://www.cgattack.com/blog/?p=160)

Thank you for your sharing and for your time.

Regards.

Hi Jerome, really nice and usefull script

And what about incorporate settings for moving objects and cameras?, so it would be the total animation script...

Cecofuli, nice work I bought your book :)

Try to make some scripts together guys

cecofuli · 2009-11-06

For  exterior (static image) obviously we use screen mode. Otherwise, to 2 Km VRay must calculate a 10 cm LC sample. That it's not useful for rendering a single image. After some distance you don't see the difference. But for animation (interior and exterior) the sample size must be the same size. In screen mode this is not true. Or in the animation you can see some flickering due to the sample size change.

I write this on my book Pag. 298:)

subburb · 2009-11-06

Hi cecofuli,sorry i didn't catch that it was you ;)

ok noticed, thanks !

well.. i've made some tests and for large exterior anims, result was good in screen mode. The world mode takes lot of ram if exterior project is large, and objects that are always far from the camera have an everage LC sampling due to visually tiny LC samples sizes.

i've a boubt : the spot3D website tells (in flythrough tutorial page) : For exterior scenes,
it is recommended to use the Screen mode always.

That's why i've made this choice...

anyway, you can force the plugin ;)

What do you suggest for helping user to make the good choice via flywiz script ?

jerome Prévost (Subburb)

cecofuli · 2009-11-06

For the fly-thgrought mode, the LC "Scale" option will be set in "World", not in "Screen". mode :)

Anyway, good tool!

subburb · 2009-11-06

LC scale mode depends of exterior or interior context.

Vray doc (spot3d.com) suggest to use scrfeen mode for exteriors, and World for interior walktrhoughs. i've just followed the doc ;)
