I have been searching the forums for days, but nobody seems to be answering the question.
All my maps are stored on a public network drive, but the nodes render gray.
I have several nodes, and they are all logged in as the same user as my workstation, so permissions/credentials aren't the problem, so neither is access to the files. I did notice this in the V-ray help files:
"If you store the files on a network location (through network shares or mapped drives), keep in mind that the non-server versions of the Windows* operating systems impose a limit on the number of simultaneous accesses to any given file through the network. This may result in odd rectangle artifacts in the image if a render server fails to load a file."
Does that mean multiple machines cannot access the files at the same time? If so, that's stupid. How can we get around that? I don't want to paste my textures on every machine locally.
I would love to finally get to the bottom of this. Thanks for any suggestions.
