Irradiance Map time out

[TragnarionStudios]

Hello everyone.

One thing that sometimes happens is that when I have to do some renders, in the calculation of irradiance map gets stuck in some buckets. Maybe takes 1 hour for do the 99% for the Irradiance map , but when left 4-5 buckets for example, gets stuck and it spends hours and hours to do those few Buckets.

I work with render farms. I want to post a Picture of reference.

In the photo the Vray spent 1 hour to calculate the 98% of the irradiance map (in the IMG the time was 3 hours, only 2 bukets), but got caught in the last 5 buckets, each X time was doing a bucket, maybe 1 hour per buckets.

Any idea?

Is this with distributed rendering? If yes, then I know what it is the issue and it will be fixed in V-Ray 3.0; if the fix works ok, we can port it to V-Ray 2.4

Best regards,

Yes, is with DR, normally using backburner. But sometimes happens only using DR without Backburner.

Regards.

I'm running into the same problem, is there a fix for 2.40.04 already or a workaround? I'm close to a deadline and already hair pulling...

Have you tried to render the scene with Vray 3.0 beta or at least with some of the latest 2.x Nightly Builds ?
