Motion blur and Ghost Trails

[Adam H. Stewart]

I have been doing tests with Ghost trails (demo), Max 7.5, Vray 1.47.03, Deadline 2.

Things render fine locally or on the network without motion blur - but when I add motion blur things get all screwed up when I network render. It is the oddest thing I currently have about 8 machines on the farm - say every frame by machine 1 is black, I remove that machine and reassign those frames to one of the other machines what happens then is one of the other machines (which previously worked fine) starts acting up,, so I remove that, and so on.

The only way I can render motion blur with Ghost trails in on a single machine. Anybody have experience with this ?

Thanks as always for you help.

if your using a demo I'd check what limitations have been incorporated into it. It sounds like they've disabled network rendering to some extent. or maybe the plugin uses some kind of network liscencing scheme that wasn't part of the demo.
