Black buckets using DR

[Ramsay]

I seem to be having a massive problem with black buckets in my rendering when I use DR. Probably unrelated but it only seems to have started happening since I installed V-ray RT. I thought that I might have an older version of V-ray on one of my slaves so installed SP4 on all of them today but the problem is still happening.

When I do a render using DR sometimes it will render fine, other times some of the slaves will produce black buckets or even render a previous version of the scene. Does anyone know what's happening? It's causing major headaches!

Try using the "restart slaves on render end" option - this should solve the problem with rendering a previous version of the scene.

Otherwise, for bucket differences, turn on the "Check for missing maps" option and see if any of the render slaves come up with missing files.
