In past I wasn't using DR. I decided eventually to try it and is it only me or using mapped network drives for textures doesn't work and I have to copy used textures to every machine that is rendering? (I tried copying textures and it works of course but it's very inconvenient for me to work like that).

Ok I found the solution for this problem. I don't know if ti was mentioned before but anyway here it is. If you're running dr spawner as service, unregister it and just start it manually from .exe file. (you can put dr spawner into your startup folder so it starts automatically when you render slave starts).Luke Szeflinski

We still use the spawner as a service (with an account that has network access) and then in the model remap the materials to UNC paths. As long as my spawner service is loaded as an account that has access to the network shares, it all works great. I have 24 slaves all running this way and I love it.Originally posted by lukx View Post
Plus I don't have to login to 24 different machines to render a scene.Comment

I know this is an old thread but im having exactly the same problems. I have recently had error messages trying to start the vray license in the startup folder (Choasgroup are currently helping me out with that). Therefore my only other option is to have the vray server start as a service, which is all fine, until I use DR. I have 2 folders shared on my main computer that all other network nodes can see, but it still will not render using the maps in those shared folders. Are paths are network paths. Are UNC paths different ? If so, how do I set them up ?Comment

Even stranger. With no render nodes active and DR on still, the maps are still missing. Ive even stopped the license as a service and started it manually...What the hell is going on ?Comment
