This page provides information about submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud from V-Ray for 3ds Max.
Overview
Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud can be done easily and directly from V-Ray for 3ds Max's interface. This page walks you through the steps of doing so.
Chaos Cloud requires the installation of the Chaos Cloud Client Application. For more information, please visit the Installation of Chaos Cloud Client page.
If you add a new version of a job you have already submitted, its upload will be much quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match the client app will upload only the changes. This is useful when you make a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud while you are still working on them.
Submitting Render Jobs
V-Ray for 3ds Max provides built-in integration with Chaos Cloud, allowing you to submit render jobs to the cloud directly from 3ds Max, using the dedicated Render in Chaos Cloud button. The button is located on the Toolbar.
Clicking on the button will open the Submit to Chaos Cloud rendering dialog. Click on Submit to send your currently opened scene to Chaos Cloud for analysis.
Export animation – Enables the export of animation to Chaos Cloud.
Frame range – Specifies how to obtain the frame range.
Frame range – Specifies a Start frame and End frame manually.
Scene Animation range – Exports the animation frames already set in the 3ds Max scene.
Preview – Renders a local preview with V-Ray Standalone which is the closest approximation to the render output from Chaos Cloud. The Width and Height parameters of the Local preview only affect the V-Ray Standalone preview.
Analyze – Pressing the Analyze button exports the scene as a .vrscene to check for possible errors, which (if any) are displayed in the output panel on the right. For more information, see the Scene Analyzer page.
