Dropped Materials

[Infrared digital]

Hi

Our server died on Monday but a new one has been created with all the paths etc setup. The problem is that when Distributing rendering to other machines, they are dropping not only the bitmaps but also shaders that have no bitmaps.

I have set everything up as correct as possible including copying the path info into the Max config.ini file on the slaves but, it still happens.

Any help will be appreciated.

Firewalls, Anti-virus softwares, something which may be blocking the slaves to the server, accesses, etc. How about that ?

Best regards,

Check permissions on the new server and make sure whatever user the rendernodes are running as can access it.

Thanks for your replies.

Turns out the OS was playing up and doing some rather strange things like, having Max on all the time and not being able to turn it off. Then, after a wee look about the machine - it was obvious it was in a pretty bad way so, reinstalling Windows at the moment.
