Hey, I am having a problem while I am rendering certain animation through backburner ( MAX7). On one computer I’m getting this overburned image while others computers render just fine. all installation of Max7 are same. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on ?

Thanks

Does it happen if you render locally on that machine (from the command line, for example)?

are there any lights in the scene or just skylight, maybe it is the default lights popping on.

6

sure - there are lights in the scene. It doesn’t have anything to do with the scene itself I guess because if the same frame is rendered on other render slave it is correct.

maybe gamma, are the “enable gamma correction” and “load enable state with Max Files” set the same on that box?

8

those two things are OFF on all systems

the problem is SOLVED. It is again the numbers separator in Windows - crap - this problem dissapeared with Max 6 and it went back again with Max 7 - I really hate these type of problems. Anyway thanks to all for their replays.

What does this mean?

it means - that if you have in Windows Control Panel/Local language settings set as the number separator “.” ( it is default in english versions of windows ) and on some computer(s) you have the separator “,” ( we have that as a default in our language version of windows - Czech ) - rendered images from one sequence will be different - it is old known issue which unfurtunately comes back again.
