Maya 2016 Final Gather rebuild options

#1

I am learning the new Mental Ray settings in Maya 2016. So far everything is making sense. However, I would like to use the Freeze rebuild option that was available for Final Gather in earlier versions. I’d like to pre-calculate the FG to use on a sequence of frames where it doesn’t really benefit to recalculate each time. Is there a way to do this in the new set-up?

I know that I can turn on the Legacy render settings, but I’d rather not - I’d like to learn the new settings and use all of the MILA pass options.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to investigate but I would point you in the direction of ‘string options’ on the miDefaultOptions node. Google that and you may find a way to your answer!
