after 2 yrs of using vray , i started to use dr (8 render slaves).
dr rocks!!!
1 of them is still not working(render hot 192.168.0.120 failed) any ideas?
what version of vray are you using?
1.47.03
How old is that computer and does it have priveleges (can see rest of network)? Check to see if the firewall is letting it through. I think the license has a 10 CPU limit - so if you have any duals you may already be going over. What operating systems are on your network?
If the license is limited to 10 cpu limit, does it mean that when HT is enabled, each dual xeon counts as 4 cpu? It would only let u use 2 xeons and a half with DR, instead of 5 dual computers! :shock: would we get some benefit from disabling HT when it comes to DR?
DR allows 10 machines, not 10 CPUs… which is kind of different…

Glad to hear it :lol:
The 10 machines limit is a technological limit or a license limit? I mean, it would be technically possible to use 1000 machines?
hi , i have mixed op system on them some are win 2k and some win xp
, i’ve noticed another error , somtimes the slave machines render empty buckets and in the vray massages i get no errors or massages.
Its a windows draw back … only 10 connection at one time.
Oops - I should take advice from my own tagline then…
basically the version your usualy is still a little wonkey when it comes to the DR. but DR is rock solid in current versions. Im hopeing vlado will have a copy of vray he is happy with that he can put out as a build soon.
as far as i know the latest build in the site is still 1.47.03 , am i missing somthing?
yeah. thats the latest public build. read up on the forum and you will see people talking about new features
Does windows 64 bit have the 10 connections-at-the-same-time thingy too?
yep
I’ve heard you have to have windows server on your network to overcome this connectivity limit by assigning groups or domains (or something like that - perhaps someone can confirm.)
Anyhow - gilicom’s problems are hard to narrow down based on the info provided. Could be any number of reasons - I’m mostly thinking group access/permissions at this point. Perhaps you’re even running a slower network card in that comp and it’s creating a bottleneck. Is your connection intermittent?
You dont have to have windows domains (but they can make some things easier)… its just that windows server doesn’t have the connection limit. That’s how Microsoft forces you to buy Windows server instead of just running one of your ordinary copies of windows as a server.
i can acces to that comp through network with no pssword needed , it render fine using backburner .
basically the version your usualy is still a little wonkey when it comes to the DR
I’ll guess i’ll wait for a less wonkeyer version…
There is a way to bypass the windows 10 connection limit. It requires replace some files with modified version to allow great numbers
yup daforce thats right, i have done the same. Its a bit of a hack but it works great.
I even remember DR-ing an image on 27 machines
