I am getting erros saying warning:Bitmap File "G:/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxx.tiff" failed to load [makeOpenError] failed to open file:2
this happens for all my files, so does this mean i need to transfer all the files to every computer?
or do they just need access to the directory in the main render client?
EDIT: the only way i got it to work is to map the drive by setting permissions to the root of the drive on the render server,
this seemed to work,, is this a correct way? windows warned me of it being a risk. so im a bit worried.
please excuse my lack of Networking knowledge.
for example lets say i have 2 computers, in my Client the textures are stored in F:/scenes/textures/example.tiff
when i now set my sharing permissions to F:/scenes/textures/
and then map my drive to that as well in the slaves, It is reading that directory as the root of F:/ as opposed to a folder within F:/
this is causing vray to not find my textures . The only way it seems to not give me an error is when i set the root of F:/ as shared
but like i mentioned above im told this is a bad idea (sharing a root directory)
can anyone help me out would be really appreciated.
