Distributed Rendering with VIZ 2006

[mr.mm]

Hello erverybody,

I have difficulties to use DR with viz 2006. In fact I could not get the vrayspawner.exe started on the render servers althrough I was creating a vrayspawer.ini according to the documentation.
I tried to use max on the servers, it works but leads to wrong results.

Everything else works quite fine with viz 2006.

Has anybody some experence with this problem?

greetings,

Markus

i'm not sure if it works in viz 2006 but in viz 2005 u have to use an old vraydummy60.max and vraydummt60.xml because the ones that came with the installer are only for max

That sounds good. But since I`m fresh vray user (may 2005) I have no old vraydummy60.max and vraydummy60.xml.
Woud you mind sending those to files to mmoos@werkvision.de

Thank you in advance.

Greetings

vraydummy

It seems to be the same issue, as with viz 2005. You should run distribute rendering on single PC ( manager nad server ) and render an empty scene and call that job as vraydummy. Then copy created files from Backburner directory to your root VIZ directory and overwrite an old vraydummy file. That should do the trick. Btw. when you browse the forum for distribude rendering indexes you will find exactly "how to do the thing".
