RenderManager doesn't see updated scenes from SceneManager

Render Manager Issues
#1

I swear, every time I want to use RenderManager it doesn’t work and everytime it’s something else.

Now I have a 3ds Max scene that I created from a template file I always use. In that template I have some predefined lighting setups, where I duplicate the scene, change the camera and rotation of the hdri. In the end I clean up the predefined setups and I have a clean file with setups in Max. Now I wanted Render Manager to render this scene. I click create new job. But I don’t see my updated setups. I just see my first 8 default setups, even though these are deleted, not the 14 new ones.

It opens fine in 3ds Max and the setups are there, I don’t even know how he still sees the old ones in Render Manager…

#2

Different scene, (older scene, didn’t start from a template here with predefined setups), made some changes in the model, didn’t change much in Pulze itself but I can’t see which scenes should be active in Render Manager. There should be 8 scenes active. Render Manager reports 1. So not sure what else to trust. I don’t have time to play beta tester here, yet I’m paying for it…

Is something up with latest Scene Manager together with Render Manager, or is it just always shit?

#3

Tried with other scenes, same shit.

I cancelled my subscription here are some of the reasons why.

  • First of Render Manager hasn’t been able to render anything in 2 years time. There were ALWAYS problems. Literally always.

  • Warning about missing assets but asset tracker in 3ds Max reports everything linked correctly.

  • Scene Manager scenes aren’t updated and still displays scenes from 2 years ago and not the newly made ones or the changes, while everything works and displays perfectly in Max.

  • The promised VPN tutorial is invisible.

  • Errors about Max not being able to render it, with some generic error message and forum thread that has jack shit to do with anything. While it renders perfectly on 2 different machines straight out of Max.

  • Warning about missing plugins that aren’t even used.

  • Warnings about older missing Drives, that are necessary (even though nothing points to those drives anymore).

  • In short way too sensitive, way too picky, way too incorrect and way too buggy.

Reason why I post this on a forum and not email you about my problems, is that current and future customers need to realize the state of this software.
