Possibility to display the VFB in Max on render nodes

Deadline
1

I believe somebody has already asked about this, but I can’t find or remeber where and what the answer was.

Would it be possible to have Deadline display the VFB during rendering even if it runs as a service? I have the service running Deadline under the same account I usually log into the machine, if it makes any difference.

Currently, there is no visual way to reveal possible issues when rendering, until a frame is done.

Thanks for any answer, cheers…

We can’t display the Max VFB when Deadline is running as a service because Max is also started as a background process. So it can’t interact with the desktop, which is what would be necessary to display and update the VFB during rendering.

Ok, well, if it’s not possible, let’s forget about it. :slight_smile:

Thank you.
