URGENT: VRAY NEXT - DR problem - random nodes dropping textures
Hello,
ever since the NEXT came out we had nothing but troubles with the DR (no problems with 3.6). 1st it was the DR bug where the rendering crashed, then the one where the buckets were missing textures but this time its completely beyond my understanding.
Here i will describe whats happening:
1. Random scene sent to BB with DR on or rendered with DR on a local machine (happens in both cases)
2. All the nodes load up textures and start rendering
3. Either at the beginning or during the render one of the nodes looses textures and renders only with grey material and lighting
4. Either this stays till the end of the render or the node starts rendering with textures again
5. 3 cameras in the same scene, 2 render fine, one renders like this - this is random, it can be a different camera next time
6. The scene can render like this, i stop the job, restart it and its either there again or it renders fine
7. If the scene renders locally without DR on, it always renders fine on every node
Here is what we have done already to troubleshoot:
1. Our IT specialist checked all the network setups
2. The HW has been checked up as well
3. There is nothing there in our network that would prevent a node either NOT TO LOAD or to LOOSE textures
4. moreover we always have "transfer missing assets" checked when doing DR
Unsure what this is but trust me, for us, this is a complete show stopper when it comes to production. Until NEXT we never had problems like this before.
We have already invested countless hours into bug hunting, troubleshooting and tracking this thing down, we even bought some new HW to check if this is not a HW thing.
This must be another VRAY NEXT bug and hopefully it gets fixed soon otherwise we face some real problems with out clients.
Please help
Thank you!
