Hello,
it seems that with V-Ray 5 there is a new policy where V-Ray will render a watermark instead of throwing an error when a license acquisition is not possible or takes unusually long.
Sometimes it happens in production that all licenses are used. Now the problem is that, if a render node does for some reason not get a license, it will still render the image but with the watermark.
That is super annoying. Since the artist has to then re-que the frames that have the watermark. Also, quite some CPU-Time gets potentially lost because you only see “ah, crap, watermarks” when the rendering is already done.
I would really appreciate if there would be a flag in V-Ray standalone that disables watermark rendering and throws an error instead, so something like “trowLicenseError=1”.
Would that be possible to implement?
Thank you!
