I am network rendering (Max8 Windows XP Pro)an animation and have rendered the first 170 frames no problem. I have 4 different vrmaps for 4 different segments of the animation. The first segment (170 frames) rendered without problem using a 100mb vrmap located on the local drive of all machines in the farm. I am now trying to render the next segment (1000 frames) which has a 300mb vrmap. The intel machines render no problem, but the AMD AthlonX2 machines simply will not render. Every time I get a message "ERR Task error: An unexpected exception has occurred in the network renderer and it is terminatin". These AMD computers are higher specification in every respect compared to some of the Intels. I was using Backburner 3 and uninstalled it and installed 2.3 instead - exactly same problem with the AMD's. I really need these two AMD computers up & running as they are the backbone of my mini-renderfarm ! Help please !
GADZOOKS 3GB switch was the solution. I wasnt concerned about that since the AMD's have two 2GB's of ram and two of the intels only have 1GB ram. I had a look in the vray log and it mentioned a memory problem so that was it ! Its Crazy that a machine with 2GB ram runs ot of memory while a mchine with 1 GB ram does not!
