XGEN not batch rendering

[rich_hornet]

Hey Guys,

Currently I am using MAYA 2016 Extension 1 SP5 and I followed all the instructions on batch rendering xgen like exporting patches and adding an additional frame to the end frame of my patch export but for some reason it will only render one section of the fur.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks

These are the warning that i get

// Error: XGen: Caf Error. Removing patch: XG_RENDER_gen_back_headFeather_shaft //

Are you having this problem when rendering locally or is it on a farm? or in DR? Any chance we can get a (sample) scene so we can take a look? Basically it should work right off as the instructions say.
Also what V-Ray are you using?

hey yolov,

I am using Vray 3.1. I can preview render the scene but when I batch it locally and in the farm the fur does not render as a whole. Unfortunately I can not give a sample scene because of NDA's we have signed. I have multiple meshes connected into one collection would that cause an issue?

Do you have any error messages or warnings in the V-Ray log on the farm?

Best regards,

I doubt there is something V-Ray related in this issue. These all seems like XGen errors.
