...or been switched off, one of the two.
OK, here's the basic details: Last week we finally went to SP2 and everything looked great. I sent some renders (pre-calculated IR and LC to the network via Backburner) over the weekend and when I got back on Monday each and every one had rendered as if the sun had been turned off. The weird thing is that the images rendered perfectly via DR at sample size (900x600) prior to submission (3600x2400). No errors reported, nothing.
So, I've checked the render nodes and they all seem to be running the same as we would our workstations. I then tried rendering the IR and LC maps via DR, saving them, and then submitting a backburner render that way. No dice, still 'black'. After that I tried sending the jobs to one specific seemingly ultra-reliable server for the pre-calcs and then individual images to each node. Result? Nothing, darker than King Kong's crotch after a soot bath.
The only way I have been able to achieve a successful render is to send the job without any pre-calculations to a single node yet only one (the super-duper rock-steady one) of four has succeeded in even doing that.
Attached are some samples showing various settings in case they reveal something I'm doing wrongly. The two rendered images show what I've managed to achieve via DR on the samples and via the one node whilst the other shows the renderings from other experiments.
