Possible problem with XREF scenes and distributed rendering

[tashko.zashev]

@tricky

Any word on this? Do XREF scenes work on Max2016 with VRay 3.30.03 DR?
On our system, certainly with this scene, the DR nodes lock up until forced to restart.

The issue should be related to this specific scene or setup because X-ref scenes are rendered fine in DR mode in V-Ray 3.3.
Is there any chance to try your Xref scene here ?
Have you checked the V-Ray log on one of the salves machines ? Is there any useful information - error or warning ?

Not to high jack the thread but if we have Xref’s set to anything besides fully visible they don’t render. This is a relatively new error but I don’t know if it is Max or Vray causing it since we upgraded to Max2016 and Vray3.3 at the same time.

Just did a test with X-Ref scene with both “Visible” and “Box” Display Options ticked and that worked for me. Could you please provide more details or step by step instructions on how to replicate this behavior here?
