DR Sgi sequence doesn't work

[Bertjenkins]

Hi

I'm really frustrated, I set up four machines for distributed rendering on a tight schedule and all my frames have the dreaded bucket squares on them. This has ruined the job and i'm going to think twice about using DR again, it used to work fine. I thought this was fixed now? My other machines say that the assets cache path is not specified but IT IS? I just added it to the Maya.env The animation has an image sequence in the textures - is this supported? It's an sgi sequence and some machines read it fine and others don't. Any ideas how to resolve this?

And why are there no clear instructions on how to set up your maya .env in the documentation?
I've never once successfully used the vray help files to glean anything useful.

I'm using 4 macs running snowleapord, Maya 2013...

Hi,

Would it be possible to download a more recent nightly build for snowLeopard? We fixed some issues with DR on macs.

Thanks- Is there a particular build you'd recommend for stability? I remember installing a new one last year and it seemed to introduce the old probems again...

Any of the more recent ones should do. We fixed this a couple of months ago. I just hope this helps and will be glad to hear from you if it did the job.
