Backburner not saving VFB lens effects

[Rick Eloy]

Hi!

We've been rendering animations through the network using Backburner and V-Ray 3.6 for 3ds Max 2016. While some machines render perfectly, it's pretty common to get frames where the lens effects are not applied. What can be causing this?

Cheers

Disable hardware acceleration?

Are the Backburner servers (slaves) running as a service or are they started manually on the nodes?

[Rick Eloy]

All running as services (sorry for the late reply)

Try starting backburner slaves manually, so VFB will appear when rendering. Lens effects are applied via the frame buffer, so if the frame buffer doesn't launch they won't be applied.
