DR Spawner connection reset

[ANDREW_CHAN]

I haven't had a problem with the DR Spawner until now. It even works over my wifi home network somehow without me configuring anything! I was rendering some small test images 800x600 no problem, but when I tried rendering anything higher, 1200 or 1800 across, the Spawner would disconnect.

The host machine:
WinXP Pro, Rhino5, Vray Core 1.60.16
error message:
Scene bounding box is too large, possible raycast errors.
(and then after the standard mesages about setting up the scene)
Ping not received from host 0.0.0.0 for 55390 milliseconds, dropping connection.
Render host unknown (10.1.1.5) is not responding

The slave machine
MacBookPro, Win7 Ultimate under bootcamp
error message:
Error receiving DR scene (0), closing DR session
[Close] Forced close connection.
[AcceptProc] Connection reset from 10.1.1.3 (1005

As I said I haven't had a problem up until now but i would like to get to the bottom of this. Is it an issue with my file, or settings, or something else?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Are you using the commercial version of V-Ray for Rhino? In some older educational versions we had a resolution restriction. Can you render those same large resolutions without DR?

Best regards,
Corey

Hi Corey, Yes I think that might be it.
I do have an early academic version on that machine.
Thanks for the reply,

Andrew
