I am wondering if I am doing something wrong here...
I have a reasonably simple seen of a bedroom. The camera moves into the bedroom through a door which is animated to open as the camera approaches.
Still image renders take perhaps 3 or 4 minutes per frame.
I am using the Animation (Prepass) and Animation (Rendering) modes as per the tutorial on the Spot 3D website "Rendering an animation with moving objects II". I have run through the prepass exercise, and the IRmap frames have rendered out to a shared network drive.
I then set secondary GI to none and set the primary to Animation (Rendering) and select the first IRmap in the list. Interp samples is reduced from the default 20 to 5, and the Interp.frames is left at the default 2.
Upon sending the render job to backburner, I am getting long hangs from all my nodes - in fact, I haven't seen any of the frames complete yet! When I render locally, they render in under 2 minutes. If I add my local machine as a server to the network render job, It cannot find a license! That's a bit weird isn't it? Does Vray require a license to network render an Animation (rendering) type job?
All normal backburner jobs (those without moving objects etc but using saved solutions)render just fine with no errors.
What is going on here?
