Different shade level from one computer to the next

[reality3d]

Hi all,

I just got a new machine, and have put the same version of max and the same version of vray as on my other machines, but when I do a distributed render, the squares the new machine is rendering, renders them at a slightly different shade to the old machine, any ideas why this would be.

[jacksc02]

do both machines have the same max service pack?

Also make sure if you're saving the GI cache that both machines have access to the location of the file.

maybe different gamma output in preferences?

@ reality3d

Do you have any objects in the scene with different cast/receive GI values.
Could be the "." - "," problem in the regional settings.
Check both your machines, they should be set identically.

That would be a great tool to check a list on a bunch of computers and list any differences in the plugins based on the ini files, and the directory listings.

LOL I think that would be almost as valuable as V-Ray its self :P

Well i do have a little tool that i wrote for our company that updates the plugins in all the computers based on a simple xml file. It isn't yet perfect, but if some one wants, just say.

P.S. It doesn't it update the plugini.ini yet.
