And you're sure all pcs have the same version of bercontile and multitexture installed on them and that all computers read the map locations from a UNC share?

[Svetlozar Draganov]

The issue not due to Bercom Tiles but to Multitexture.
Most probably the textures used in Multitexture are not accessible from the render-slave.


VraySpawner is started as a windows service or manually ?

Hi svetlozar, i attached the scene with textures , on the previous file i didn't include them. VraySpawner are started as window service and "restart slaves on render end" its on.

Morne, yes , all have the same version, is the first time i use them, so i have no other versions.

Now i can confirm,

VRAY 3.00.01

The problem persist

I think what Svetlozar meant was that the maps have to be accessible from a network location, UNC paths.
For example \\server\textures\stone\stone01.jpg. It looks to me like your servers are trying to read the maps from a local drive (Y, probably where they were on the machine where you submitted from. As the maps aren't locally on the render slaves it will produce errors.

[oligophant]

Al textures are accessible from the network.

I use mapping drives for ages (that letter Y: is for a map drive); that being said , DR always worked fine that way.

solve: different multitextures versions on the slaves

Thanks for the feedback
