ies lights problem with DR

[waaazoo]

Hello,

I'm again on my DR windows7/Macosx problem.
Now everything renders out fine, the mac slaves have access to all the files, textures.

The problem is that the slaves can't load the IES profile, even if it's in the sourceimages directory. It's really weird, the slaves are loading the maps, but not the ies profiles.

Using Vray 1.5 SP1

regards,

Olivier

waaazoo, I don't know the answer at your question, but, how did you do for mac finds the textures with a different path?. Currently I'm using Vray for Maya in Linux and Windows, but I still have this issue.

Hello,

I don't know how it works on linux, but might be the same as MacosX.
I had first to be sure that shared disk drives are mounted on the slaves.
Then I looked at the path that directed to my textures (on the slaves) and added in front of the textfile named "vrayslave":

export VRAY_ASSETS_PATH="the path you found" (without the quotes)

Important ! you have to add exactly the path for each directory where the slaves have to look for textures, and if you want to add more than one path, it has to be separated by a ":" without the quotes one ONE LINE ! Also the order of the paths are important.

So, it's absolutely not a reliable solution, because you would have to edit with each new project the VRAY_ASSET_PATH

hope this helps !

About the IES light problem: I really don't understand. with another scene of the same project (so paths and ies files exactly the same) it worked smoothly !

Oh, thanks for the way, I'm gonna try it.

It's odd (and for get angry) when happens this things (things work now and here not...). I hope you get the solution soon!.
