Autograss Update

[glorybound]

Did anybody try to install the Autograss update, which was sent out last week? I am having flashbacks! It will not install on my slaves, and my e-mails are not being returned.

why won't it install?

[glorybound]

Well, good question. The workstation worked, but the slaves don't.

But, it seems even though the slaves didn't install, it's still rendering fine with the earlier version.

I just bought it last night, so no update version, but it installed fine on workstation and nodes. Not sure if it's relevant, but there you have it.

Yes. I got a response this morning with the same fix, which solved my install issue.

I got the fix, too, but now if I activate DR, render is all black. no errors from slave and renders fine if I switch off DR...waiting on answer still.

On the bright side, it seems to be very much improved, but I have to give it some more exercises...

So did mine, but it was a mapping issue. I tested it using their sample file. I used Colins Relink script, which mapped the proxy (I think). Whatever it was, it solved the issue. The name was longer then the dialog, so I don't know if it was a proxy or texture map.

Thanks Bobby, 'll check that out. I tested with a new scene, and also checked missing things, used RB script and asset tracking...nothing seemed missing but I will try again.

Hmm, well, nothing was missing, but after rendering the sample scene, DR now works in other scenes, too.
Not sure what was up, but for now it is resolved. Thanks again for the tip as I never would have tried the sample scene as a solution.
