Vray DR Problem

[hagen]

Hello,

I hope somebody can help me here...

My configuration: 2 computers for Rendering

workstation: at the moment win xp prof 32 bit+3dsmax 2009 service pack1+Vray 1.5SP2

slave: now windows xp prof. 64 bit with 3dsmax 2009 service pack 1 32+64 bit with both vray versions( 32,64bit) for DR

When i was on both with win xp prof everything worked fine---but now i had to reinstall the slave and i thought why not win xp 64bit--because the slave has 4 GB RAM.

pinging between the computers is no problem...everything quite normal.
Vray Spawner also works---there are no crashes.
But when rendering in DR mode the slave can t render.
Vray log says: server xxx scene loaded, starting render
??? server xxx, render completed ???

the in green: wwarning: render host xxx is not responding----

Has anybody some advices?

DOH ..

trying to problem solve human error is the hardest problem to solve..

We often have this problem too. Have noticed that we only have the problem with large files (200+ Mb). Small files is usually no problem. Sometime it helps to "wake-up" the renderfarm by sending a small file to rendering before sending the large file to.

DR Large Max Files

Has anyone else experienced problems Distribute Rendering large Max files, say +100mb? I usually don't have a problem with small files but everytime I have a large Max file none of the Render Slaves pick the job up. Any suggestions/tips/tricks??

Thanks in advance,

Yes, I have the same issue. Files that are typically over 100MB will not DR. No solution found on this end, perhaps XREF's.
