Vray 3 render nodes

[flipbook]

Good afternoon!

I recently upgraded our machines from version 2 to 3 (3ds max 2014). We have 20 render nodes and 35 render node licenses. When the farm is in full use it always states 15 are in use and 5 render nodes continually crash out with connection timeout, just trying to figure out if it is always the same nodes.

I'm afraid this is using the dreaded BackBurner 2016 and purchasing Deadline is not an option at the moment! Anyone had anything similar?

Thanks

What kind of connection timeout? If it's the licensing one, you can control that using the env. var VRAY_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=nnn where nnn is the timeout in milliseconds; the default is 50000 (50 seconds).

Thanks Vlado that is good to know. It appeared to be the same 5 nodes so I just reinstalled vray and seems to work now. Who knows what it was

Thanks
