Render slave problems with 1.45... help!

[Ramsay]

Hi guys

I have installed Vray 1.45 on my workstation and installed the license server on the offices main server, that works fine when I use 127.0.0.1 as its IP address. Now I want to install Vray 1.45 on my render farm machines but I am really not sure how to get them to work Maybe I am just being stupid but I am not much good at this sort of thing... could someone step me through the process please?

Run the setup program on all render slaves; this is all you have to do.

Ok I have a problem then because when I send a small test scene to net render it errors on the farm machines

Any ideas?

[vlado]

What kind of error do you get? Take a look at the 3dsmax log file, as well as the vray log file on the render slaves; they may contain some useful information.

Best regards,
Vlado

Can you net render with the scanline and/or mentalray?
