Nice test. How fast is the rendering with all GPUs disabled?

Nice test. How fast is the rendering with all GPUs disabled?

If you use only the cpu the rendering is more slow.

In thi case is importan a fast cpu. in my test the cpu is old and not very fast. AMD 8350 FX
Today there are more fast Cpu on the market AMD 1800 X etc.

hello,
yes it is fast with GPU.
can you help me to find maxscript or through SDK to enable and disable GI next option?

...enable and disable GI next option?

This option is exposed in the 3ds Max UI now. Just use the latest NVIDIA Mental Ray plugin you can download here in the forum for free.

hello,
I find the script for this.
renderers.current.IndirectDiffuseEnabled = false
