Scene Analyzer

This page offers information about the Scene Analyzer tool in V-Ray for 3ds Max.

Overview

The Scene Analyzer is a built-in tool that checks the compatibility of your scene for rendering in Chaos Cloud Rendering before submission.

Scene Analyzer

The Analyze compatibility button is located on the Submit to Chaos Cloud rendering window that appears when you submit a scene to Chaos Cloud through 3ds Max. It scans your scene and prints out information about any textures, materials, plug-ins and assets, incompatible with Chaos Cloud Rendering.

The Preview button scans your scene and runs a preview of it with V-Ray Standalone.

Switch the view between View by errors and View by nodes. Double-clicking on any unsupported node opens and highlights it within its corresponding window (Material Editor, Scene View, etc.).

Shortcuts and multi-selection

The Scene Analyzer also supports various multi-selection features and shortcuts that can be utilized in the following ways:

Selection related:

• Left-click – Selects a single item and deselects all previous selections.
