This is a new scene - just created some primatives and gave a generic material - nothing to complicated - Just want to get dr working across the network to save time

DR Black Buckets - same problem

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem as described here. I have no trouble using Backburner, but for some reason DR to the remote machine renders black buckets. Anyone get to the bottom of this problem yet?

ive had this problem as well. Only happened when having DR nodes be part of irrad map creation. Would work fine if rendering from saved irrad map. Ive had to only use DR with saved irrad maps when this is happening. Sometimes rebooting DR nodes can help.

DR Black Buckets

Thanks, Percy. I'll try rendering from saved IR map. Have you never been able to render the IR map using DR, or only occasionally?

[percydaman]

only occasionally do i have problems, certainly not every time. Seems to happen on larger images more often though.

I tried rendering using DR with precalculated IR map, without success. It seems strange that it's an occasional problem.
