  • network maps don't work with service?

    I ran into a problem on a last minute project, but Luckily found a solution. I couldn't get maps working on network machines unless they resided on that particular machine (ie, max default textures worked, but not my shared ones).

    I was using the service. It worked fine, but no maps. If I use the V-Ray RT render server which pops up a handy little cmd window to show you errors it works fine. I just like the service better because I don't have to worry if the computer restart having RT not work.

    Any ideas why that might be? Once we did that it was working like a champ. I didn't notice much of any benefit after about 5-6 machines though....which was fine because we only have 14 extras and 2 of us needed to use it this weekend. That left 2 machines to actually submit the final renders to.

    Prolly the user (system) doesnt have permission to access the network maps.
    Try running the server as a user that is allowed to access them.

      It works with the command version, just not the service.

      Both farm computers and workstations have the same drive mapped as the same letter. Switching to UNC paths made no difference either.

        Did you set up the user login for the service properly?

        Best regards,
