VFB window minimizes each time I render.

Hi!

3DMax 2015 + Vray Adv 3.0

It is somethin I get desperate about and cannot solve.

When I got a scene in Max+Vray and I click render, VFB windows opens, but always minimized at about 800x600
So if, for example, I have rendered at 1900x1080, obv I want to see everything, therefore I maximize the window.

Well, the problem is that each time I click render, VFB windows goes back minimized to 800x600 again and I have to maximize it everytime..
it's exasperating.  Any solution?

Thanks!

Have you tried scaling the window instead of hitting the Maximize button? By dragging the bottom corner. That should in theory force the plugin to remember the window size.

You could also switch to the V-Ray frame buffer window, instead of using Max's default one. More options in there too.

Scaling the windows does work, already saw that and well at least is an option... you reminded me it, so thanks. About the vfb, it is what Im using already instead max's default.

Hmmm, I wonder then if this is a bug that's been posted on the V-Ray forums or not. What's your OS and hardware, if you don't mind sharing?

Yep, looks related, here's the solution

I see, looks like I have to keep updating version to see bug fixed. Meanwhile scaling will be fine.
Thanks Eric you are the man!
