Vray proxies on Render Farm

[hsz]

Hi,
We are using deadline as our client for the render farm. Im using Vray Proxies which currently aren't working on the farm ... everything render but not the proxies.
Do I have to do anything special to make them work? Im using a nightly build on my machine but the farm is using 2.30.1. When I render locally on my machine everything work as expected.

One more thing that I forgot to mention is that our work station are MAC but the render farm are all PCs.

Thank you.

Have you looked at the logs from V-ray on the farm?
Are proxy files loaded correctly?

p.s. mixing versions in not a good idea in general...

yep it was because I was using and setting up the proxies with a nightly build and then send it to the farm which was the stable version 2.30 ... so I re-install the stable version on my machine and everything is working as expected.

PS: So there is a way to have both version (latest Nightly and stable) installed on my machine and then tell Maya which one to use when I need to send to the farm or something like that?

Thank You.

You can set things up so that you can start Maya with a different version of V-Ray loaded, but it's not possible to change the V-Ray version while Maya is running.

Best regards,
