Vray Max 2008

[lukx]

@lukx: Is backburner working in 2008? With render strips? And vray DR in backburner? I didn't think these were working in max 9...

hmm, render strips were working in 9 (there was problem before sp but then it was fixed), DR I'm not using. About render strips in 2008 I didn't yet tested it but so far it looks like the most stable max in autodesk history .

Lukx said stable and Max in the same post. That is funny!

Yeah apparently its rather stable, and much quicker in viewport speed

So when is the Sp1 supposed to be released?

Re Sp1:

I'm guessing it'll release about 2 weeks before sp2. lol

Has anyone gotten DR to work in 2008? I'm just getting it installed and testing stuff now. Haven't got DR working yet.

[gfa2]

Well, I've done everything I did to get it to work on max 8 and not only will it not work, max crashes right after it renders with DR. It crashes consistantly after everything I try...not necessarily a good sign.

I'm using a scene that has no maps, my main computer and one DR computer, I've registered the spawner as a service on the DR machine and I sent a regular render job via backburner to the DR machine before attempting the DR rendering. That's pretty much how I got max 8 to work, but 2008 is not. Anyone else?

crashing DR

I have a feeling that is one of the things addressed in SP1

well I tested DR and it works with 2008 exept of course missing textures when using mapped drive (i'm not going to copy all the textures to all the render nodes)

[DaForce]

you could try with UNC paths.

That should sort it.

[paulison]

so it appears stable but with 1 person it crashes consistantly... think we will wait a while

[lukx]

I can't imagine addinng all subdirectories form texture folder manually in user paths in unc, so I just go to mapped drive I though it should work the same.
