I want to use DR in “Incremental add to current map” mode in Irradiance Map to speed up calculations for GI in one “room” - it’s just 3 frames. Slave computer help rendering first frame but stop on the next frame. Manualy restarting DRSpawner on slave resolve the problem for one frame. I have arleady ticked “restart slaves…” option.
I’m using vray 3 but this happend in beta and previous version too.
I’ve run a simple test here but I am not able to reproduce the issue.
Please make sure that all machines have the exact same Vray version installed, in order to run DR properly each machine should have the same Vray version.
Could you please confirm which are the exact version of Vray and 3DSMax you are using, what Operating System is installed on the workstation and slave machine ?
Would it be possible to run the same test on another scene preferably something very simple with a few primitives and a light.
What happens if you are rendering without GI - does the slave machine stops after the first frame or it continues to the next frame ?
I did a simple test and everything run fine… It have to be something with heavier scene. My last scene where I want to use this was interior and not so complicated.
GI… the point is to run Fly-Through type GI calculation for few shots in one room to get better GI results and final rendering run frame by frame on each mashine
