Problem with DR - Licensing issue?

V-Ray for 3ds Max V-Ray for 3ds Max :: General

Hi,
i’ve a strange problem with Distributed Rendering, as you can see in the image below, each bucket differs from the other. Every machine and load is identical to each other, WinXP, VRay 1.46.15 (happens also with lower versions), main workstation is a DualXeon 3,06HT, Win2003 Standard Edition, clean install with a new auth.-code from Tedi :wink: and a fresh Max7. Networkdrives are connected on each machine as Drive H:, on the main workstation too, IP’s were assigned by a DHCP-server. I don’t get it. Maybe someone knows how to solve this.
Thanks in advance
Randy

Did you use “Bucket mode” for the irradiance map?

Don’t :slight_smile:

Use single-frame mode, and it will be fine.

since there has been so many issues with bucket mode, is there a plan to fix it or would it be better to just get rid of it all together?

Bucket mode will work IF your settings are high enough, it’s still valuable at lower settings for faster feedback IMO.
