I have just tried starting vRays DR for the first time. I followed the instructions in the manual but the result differs somewhat to what’s described in the manual.
When I come to the point where I press the render button I get a popup with the option to save the scene somewhere. If I do so nothing happens. If I don’t do so nothing happens.
Does anyone know what’s going on here??
max version?
oops…sorry. VIZ4
hi obeth ! 
Well, there is absolutly no problem in what you describe.
All is normal !
You must save the scene in order to be loaded on other computers.
This is not compulsive !
It works like that !

I see, but shouldn’t it start rendering. I just get a black VFB. Is there somewhere I have to save the scene to?
No, you can’t render if your scene is not saved sorry 
Just save your scene in a folder seen by all the computers of your
renderfarm.
Did you set up your distributed rendering as it is explained in the tutorial
topic of this forum ?
Do you have a commun folder recognize by your computers ?
If all that is ok, you should not have any problem after saving your scene.

The scene is saved but when I hit render I get promted to save again. So when I save to a shared directory the manager says that the servers have finished rendering and I get an error message saying : “error:Reentrant call, possible exceptions” - whatever that means. The virtual frame buffer is blank and no render has taken place.
I followed the steps in the tutorial. I’m not sure if you are referring to a different tutorial that’s online
