Hi,
We're running 3ds max 8, Vray 1.47.03, and deadline on our farm. Every once in a while, Vray will not finish rendering a frame and will exit. The image gets saved as a partially rendered image, some buckets rendered, some not. Mostly this is happening on our 32 bit systems will large files. Our problem is that for some reason when this occurs, the failure of the frame is not reported to Deadline so it can be re-queued for rendering later. The problem is also inconsistent as a machine will do this on one frame and then render the next 10 it is sent just fine. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is this something that is fixed in future builds of Vray? I've checked with the deadline folks and they indicated that it is probably Vray exiting and not notifying 3ds max of the failure. It does not occur a lot for us, but enough to cause headaches in our production workflow.
If anyone else has seen this or has a solution, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks.
Todd Peterson
