  • Maya Vray distributed rendering doesn't work

    Hi, I'm trying to render an image from Maya frame buffer or Vray frame buffer (Maya 2012 and Vray 3). I added a server on the DR settings (ip is OK, port is set to 20207, it's enable) but when I render it, the slave loads the scene but stop on "Prepass 1 of 1 ... done [00h00m00s]" and nothing happens...
    I tried to add an evironment variable VRAY_FOR_MAYA2012_DRPORT / 20207 on both PC, but still nothing after Prepass 1 of 1.

    Any ideas ?

    Let's first find out whether the issue is scene dependent or not.
    Please create a completely new scene with a few basic primitives and a light, avoid using any pre-made geometries/textures and etc.
    Then render the scene and send us the vray-log file from workstation and slave machine and maya-output-log.

    On a different node - is Use Local Host enabled from DR settings?

        The problem is that you are trying to render fractional frame number which is not supported in DR. We will add a warning about this, and maybe in case of disabled local rendering, VRay should directly fail to render.

          Okay thanks ! Didn't see, Maya set the render frame to 1.04 in the time line, I change it to frame 1.00 and now DR works great... Thank you again for your response !
