Vrayspawner Service?

[DJ-Studd]

Just a pointer for people wanting to INSTALL it - make sure you change the Service Account for the service to the account you login with. Otherwise it may not launch too well

anyone have an update to this, since the links towards the top no longer work?

I am trying to get an array of up to 30 machines on DR for an animation, and would prefer to not have to log onto each and launch the spawner.

I have a dedicated user account setup on our domain specifically for DR and Backburner services.

I've got all my spawners in the atartup menu now. Also, I can RDC in and kill them that way.

I was having problems with the Spawner Service on my machines with the latest release - didn't have time to really investigate.

Same...

I found that the nodes with the spawner as a service would return empty buckets or would not respond.
Also I had a few machines cpu at 50-80% doing nothing when the service was running. (note this is not idle process).

I didnt want to tell vlado about it because its always difficult to duplicate problems when associated with networking. So far it has happened to me in 2 different networks.

Anyway above all, Vrayspawner works fine.. I put it in startup and log in under a "render" account when I want to use it.

Not worth the hassle and plus its only RC2 so when the full thing comes out I will be testing again.

Cheers.
