Q Why doesn’t the Renderwow button appear in 3ds Max after plugin installation?

Go to 3ds Max → Customize → Preferences → Maxscript → enable “Run Startup Scripts,” then restart 3ds Max.

Q How does “Render Small Photon Map First” work?

It reduces irradiance map min/max rates proportionally to the small photon map size—speeding up photon calculation while maintaining acceptable quality (validated across hundreds of test scenes).

Q What is “V-Ray Distributed Rendering”?

Using multiple machines to render one image simultaneously—speeds up rendering but multiplies cost (e.g., 2 machines = 2× price).

Q Why is “Custom Small Photon Size” grayed out?

Switch render quality to “Small Photon Map” mode. If still disabled, your scene likely uses the Brute Force (BF) GI algorithm, which conflicts with this feature.

Q How to switch accounts when “Auto-login” is enabled?

Use the “Log Out” function in the client.

Q How to enable network acceleration?

In the login screen → Settings → enable “Location Proxy”

Q Not enough disk space when submitting large scenes?

1. Change the data drive to one with more free space.

2. Enable “Do Not Pack Files” in client settings (note: increases upload size—only use with fast internet).

Q Why is packing taking so long?

Packing time depends on scene size and local hardware. Check Task Manager for “7Z.exe” process to confirm it’s running. To speed up, enable “Do Not Pack Files.”

Q Packing failed—what to do?

Check if your C: drive is full or if file/texture paths contain special characters (e.g., #, &).

Q Upload issues:

1. Upload stuck / exclamation mark: Restart client, enable “Network Acceleration.” A triangle icon indicates local network instability.

2. No upload speed: Temporarily disable antivirus/firewall.

3. Slow upload: Caused by local bandwidth limits. Try a stable network or enable region-specific “Network Acceleration.”

Q What is “Frozen Amount” in the client?

It shows real-time accumulated costs of ongoing tasks. Actual usable balance = Account Balance – Frozen Amount. Cleared upon task completion.

Q Can I keep rendering with insufficient balance?

Yes—until your credit limit is exhausted. However, you cannot download results or submit new tasks if balance is negative.

Q Can I cancel(stop) a render job and get a refund?

You can cancel(stop) a job at any time, but you will be charged for the actual GHz-hours consumed up to the cancellation point. No charges apply to unstarted frames.

Q Why is my task queued?

Standard/High-End tasks start immediately (brief queues may occur during peak hours). Budget mode queues >30 mins? Contact support.

Q How to check per-task costs?

Double-click a completed task in the client for details. For bulk billing, go to website → Account Center → “My Renders” → export statements.

Q How to view tasks submitted from other devices?

Enable “Job synchronization” in client settings.

Q How to save intermediate render results?

Right-click task → “Save Intermediate Result.”

1. V-Ray: Saves and continues rendering (multiple saves allowed).

2. Corona: Saves, applies denoising, and marks task as complete.

    Only works while task is actively rendering.

Q Where are rendered results saved?

1. Right-click task → “Browse Results.”

2. Drag task to far right → click folder icon.

3. Log in via website → download from account center.

Q How long does rendering take?

Depends heavily on scene complexity (models, materials, settings). Test with a typical image. Always check material subdivision values—especially with downloaded assets—to avoid excessive render times.

Q Rendering artifacts/errors?

Contact support immediately. Keep the task (do not delete) and provide error screenshots. If confirmed as cloud-side issue,Renderwow will refund costs and provide a solution.

Q Rendering failed—why?

First, test the same settings locally. If it fails locally, fix your scene. If it works locally, contact support with task details for diagnosis.

Q Can’t download results?

A triangle icon indicates network instability. Ensure stable connection. If unresolved, contact support.

Q Can I change the client’s dark theme?

Yes—go to Settings → switch to “Light Mode.”

Q What is “Smart Shutdown”?

1. Shutdown after upload: Computer powers off once upload completes (task status: Queued/Rendering).

2. Shutdown after download: Powers off after all current tasks finish and results are downloaded.

Q How to create sub-accounts (for businesses)?

Website → Account Center → “Sub-Accounts” → “Create Sub-Account.”

Q How do I set a timeout alert in the client?

For tasks with unpredictable render times, we recommend enabling the timeout alert function. The client will notify you once your specified time limit is reached, allowing you to monitor the render duration and ensure timely delivery. You can also set timeout alerts for 3ds Max still image and animation tasks at the time of submission.

Q Do you support render submission from a Mac?

It is not currently supported.

Q The image has brightness issues. How do I modify the gamma value?

You can use the "Renderwow Image Gamma Adjustment Tool" to make quick adjustments.
