Some buklet not rendering

hello guys, often during network rendering, some buklet be rendered without the “just natural” materials (diffuse, reflection, refraction), the same thing about the calculation of IM, I state that the version of Dr. spwner is the same on all machines and that is an anomaly that occurs to me, in a “random” when using v-ray

Ciao!!

Re: Some buklet not rendering the v-ray material

looks to me like one of the machines that are pitching in on this render, doesn’t have access to where you have the textures for that scene.

Re: Some buklet not rendering the v-ray material

I found that when that happens I need to clean the temp folder of the render slaves.

Re: Some buklet not rendering the v-ray material

It might be tedious, but it’s best to make sure all texture and background images are coming from a single folder that all computers can access.

Also (and this is crucial) make sure each of your slave computers can access that folder taking the exact same path that your main computer takes.

I once had a laptop connected to my network via remote access and I had set it up as a slave computer. All of the computers in my network (except the laptop) took the same path to get to my texture folder (R:/LIBRARY/Vray_Materials/Textures/…) but my laptop has to take a slightly different path to get to that folder (SSA_NET/R:/LIBRARY/Vray_Materials/Textures/…). Because of that, my laptop couldn’t reach any of my textures when the main computer told it to take the same path all of the other slave computers were taking. As a result, all of the buckets from my laptop would render everything the default grey color.

Another common mistake I make is that I sometimes use one of SketchUp’s default materials and edit the material in SketchUp. The problem with this is that all SketchUp materials are saved in your C: drive; so when you use DR, all of your slave computers will will look in their own C: drive for the SketchUp material. If they find it, that file won’t reflect the changes you made to it in SketchUp (because technically it’s not the same file). Also, if the file name is not in the slave computer’s C: drive (which is very common if the slave computer’s SketchUp Material list isn’t the same as the main computer’s, or if the slave computer doesn’t even have SketchUp) then the slave computers will render the default gray color.

Re: Some buklet not rendering the v-ray material

Thanks for the advice … friends!
Nothing to do, for now the only solution was to “force” rendering the network as [send to Each node] …
Although I believe that the problem occurs with some textures that have spread from the map directory system which in my case is “C: \ ProgramData \ ASGvis \ VRayForSketchUp \ Textures” only happens a few times, perhaps due to anomalies in the network. .. mah go figure.

About renderig network … could you tell me where we can find information on the mechanism and differences on 'enable / disable asset collection, send to Each node, send to shared folder? something about the merits / defects of the various settings??

Hello everyone, good job … Forgive my English autotraslated! (I hope you understand!)

Re: Some buklet not rendering the v-ray material

Nothing to do, the problem after a few days, occurred again!
Unfortunately my poor English can not get lost in long explanations …
We place these images in addition to “render_message” on the first pass (LC + LC) saved to disk and the second passage IM saved to disk …
I hope we can catch the problem.

ciao, davide.

Re: Some buklet not rendering

One of your materials has a bitmap that is referencing your C: drive…Try relocating that bitmap to a shared network location.

Re: Some buklet not rendering

aclark, tutti i materiali sono dislocati in un percorso non propria rete condivisa. Penso che questo sia un problema marginale perché per la maggior parte del tempo di mr. lavoro drspawner wery bene.
ma, a volte, i problemi ancora rimangono.

ciao, buon lavoro a tutti

Re: Some buklet not rendering

Hi Thomthom,
which temp folder were u talking about?
I have a same problem to render too.

Re: Some buklet not rendering

That would depend on the Windows version your slaves are running.
