  • DR and Xeon doesn't work well

    Hi,

    I try to render per 1.5 an interior and the LC is set to 32 passes to use all cores of the Xeon. But this seems to cause, that after the LC pass is calculated at the master machine (Xeon), the slaves are still working on the LC passes. The progress window of the slaves show several lines of "Light cache time interval is (0.000000, 29.99999", where the progress window of the master is calculating the final pass. At the end, the image is calculated without the slaves.

    Can the LC pass not be limited to the master machine only, since the slave doesn't help for the LC?

    OK, calculating the LC pass without DR, save it to the disk and use it as LC cache for DR works, but a simplier solution should be possible.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Unfortunately Light Cache calculations are not distributable (they will always be calculated for every node) and for your case it's better to calculate/save it on one machine.
    Probably our developers will work in this direction, it will be useful option.

        A simple first solution could be, that one of the LC option is set so that the spawner are very quick ready (for the spawner only), for example the subdivs at 60.
