Distributed Rendering: Missing Buckets

[tptnshp]

I am distributing a rendering using IR & Light Cache to 3 machines and when the render finishes some of the buckets fail to render, they remain the way from the previous render

any ideas here?

Hi

just reboot the slave's .. sometime's the old render doesnt get flushed for some reason, but that only really happens when the machines are tired and hot! ..

It looks like this can also happen if you have incremental save ON.

Best regards,

re:missing buckets

rebooted all machines including server and increment on save is not enabled

and it is still doing this, this just recently started happening as well, i t never happened before today

Hi

how are the vray spawners being started on each machine?

VRAY SPAWNERS

manually, i guess, is there any other way? not quite familiar with this whole this, just started using DR, and for some reason today its not happy

everything seems to be fine when i just use one machine, once DR kicks in its a mess

If the spawner is started automatically then try stopping it, right click on my computer> manage> services, and find the spawner, doulbe click the text and and stop the service.



Then manually start it again from program files, in the chaos group folder.

this only applies of course if you have set the spawner to run automatically..
