dark buckets from DR every time output image size is changed

[Darlene_O]

Hi,
I am noticing a possible bug today with Win 7/64, 3DS Max Design 2013 and Vray 2.30.01. My DR is working fine, but when I change the image size for my output render, and re-render, I start getting dark buckets from a few of my slaves-as though the slaves are not seeing my HDR lighting or something? The buckets are not black but very dark or off-color. When I reboot my master machine and re-render, the image is fine. But it seems everytime I make a slight adjustment to my output size, I have to shut down and reboot the master PC. Is this a bug? Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks.

It might be a bug; which 3ds Max and V-Ray version is it? Have you tried using the "restart slaves on render end" option in the DR settings?

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi,
It says 3DS Max Design 2013 x64, product version 15.0
Yes I have the "restart slaves on render end" option checked off in the DR settings.

Could you please turn this option ON and inform us about the result ?

Hello Darlene_O,

We've done some tests with 3DSMax Design 2013 and Vray 2.30.01 , but we couldn't reproduce the issue you have.
Is it possible to send the scene you have an issue to vray@chaosgroup.com

Thanks is advance.
