DR Spawner

[Karl Brablik]

Hi, Dalomar

I´ve got a question - on my comp I´ve got a new Rhino version with VŔay 4 1.00 SR1 (not rc1),
when I want install DR Spawner on others computers connected in company net, it is not possible,
´cos on the other comps is Rhino installation required. The problem cannot be solved nor with
copying directory with DR Spawner on slave machines from my comp. I´ve got just one Rhino licence.
In 1.0 V-Ray version it worked, but I want to use the texture administration which comes with SR1.
Would you be so kind and help me solve this?

Re: DR Spawner

Hello Karl,

I am not sure if this will work with the Version you are using but, it seems to work here in the latest release:

(quoted from an E-Mail I wrote to tech support)

"...As I wrote I first replaced the new with the old spawner files and at first everything seemed to work well. Regrettably I found that in some scenes, the old spawners rendered out darker buckets than the new one, so I had to search for a new solution.

Looking at the error message, I peeked in the asgvis license folder in order to find a way to tell the spawner where it can possibly find the license.
To my surprise I found the file setvrlserver.exe.
With the help of this file I was able to define a license path to my workstation computer, where I have a licensed vray4rhino version running. After that, I uninstalled and deleted all but the license folder manually then reinstalled again (I checked setvrlserver.exe after the reinstallation and found that the path was not changed by the installation)

This actually seemed to solve the problem; all spawners are running right now..."

EDIT:

despite what i wrote in my last post I now think that all you need to do is to manually erase all stuff in the DR Spawner folder after you uninstalled the old version and before you install the new one.
I used to think that it had something to do with the setvrlserver.exe file, but I just tried and changed the license path to another computer without vray and it still works. Initially I did both (deleted all spawner files and set the path in the setvrlserver.exe), so I thought it was the latter one...



best regards
