Error: Preparing camera sampler

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

I am running into an error when trying to network render, even the simplest of scenes using Vray 2.30.01. I have 3 machines running XP and 2 running Windows 7. The Win7 machines run fine, but the XP machines are throwing up this error in Deadline

“12 ERR: [V-Ray] UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Preparing camera image sampler Last marker is at ./src/vrayrenderer.cpp, line 2359: Preparing camera sampler”

Any ideas why this might be happening? Very simple scene of just a sphere moving up and down. All machines render fine when using scanline…

Found out the issue… since these were older machines they had a modified plugin.ini that was pointing to an older set of the vray plugins on the network. So when I installed the latest version of Vray, Max couldn’t tell which set of plugins to use; hence the error. :slight_smile:
