bake with vray distributed

[ricorio]

Hi,

I can't get the v-ray baking options to work distributed.

VRAY_VRSCENE_LOCATION=O:/99_Temp/vrayTemp

is set and the render global options baker works distributed.

Transfer missing assets also doesn't solve that the slaves won't find the temp.vrscene via the lighting/shading baker.

Any help would be nice!

Cheers

Rico

Unfortunately, the bake options don't work with distributed rendering. Only the texture baking options from the render settings > baking engine will work. It's on our to do list to improve things in this regards, but it's hard to tell when exactly we'll be able to look into this.

Thanks Alex,

for the meantime ... not nice but helps a lot:

string $UDIM[3] = {"38", "48", "58", "68"};

for($node in $UDIM)
{
// get U values
string $uValue = `substring $node 2 2` + "\n";
// set minU
int $minU = (int)$uValue - 1;
setAttr "vraySettings.uv_min0" $minU;
//set maxU
int $maxU = (int)$uValue;
setAttr "vraySettings.uv_max0" $maxU;

// get V values
string $vValue = `substring $node 1 1` + "\n";
// set minV
int $minV = (int)$vValue;
setAttr "vraySettings.uv_min1" $minV;
// set maxV
int $maxV = (int)$vValue + 1;
setAttr "vraySettings.uv_max1" $maxV;

//assign CRV shader
select -r MDL:full_grp1 ;
sets -e -forceElement VRayMtl3SG;
// set render image name
setAttr -type "string" vraySettings.fileNamePrefix ("drakkar_halvar_original_CRV_10" + $node);

print("RENDERING CRV UDIM " + $node + "\n");
RedoPreviousRender;

//assign AMB shader
select -r MDL:full_grp1 ;
sets -e -forceElement VRayLightMtl1SG;
// set render image name
setAttr -type "string" vraySettings.fileNamePrefix ("drakkar_halvar_original_AMB_10" + $node);

print("RENDERING AMB UDIM " + $node + "\n");
RedoPreviousRender;
}

Cheers
