Save/Re-Use FGM

Q: Can anyone pls write a workable description of the workflow how to combine the FGM directly in max?

A: Sure:

Here's the workflow for a typical "architectural walkgthrough", i.e. no moving objects or changing lights.

- set up a FG file, and hit the little "X" to make sure it's cleared out (empty)

- set your sampling to 1/64 1/64 to render super quick beauty pass (coz beauty pass isn't needed)

- render every 20 frames or so (or just render the "representative camera positions") writing to the FG file. This will incrementally add to the file as you go.

- when done, check the "Read Only" button. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT OR YOU CAN GET FLICKERING AND SLOW SPEED!

- set your sampling back to your "original" value

- render your entire sequence

- done
