Oh, brother! I thought the stuck buckets were a thing of the past. My first cameras rendered just fine, but my last two are getting stuck on buckets. Last night several buckets sat there for 4-5 hours and this morning my last view is stuck on one bucket.
Changing to static memory seemed to have helped.
Spoke too soon. Now it is just stuck in another place and just one bucket. How do I fix this?
BF+BF plowed through it without issues.
i had a similar issue not long ago that was resolved in the latest build: Sticky Buckets - General - Chaos Forum
at the time of the issue the buckets seemed to get stuck on various instanced geometry…
there was another thread with the same issue here: V-ray 3.60.01/2 - extremely slow render time - Issues - Chaos Forum
I have the latest, so was it a nightly build?
no, the latest build 3.60.03
These days I render two versions, a progressive with a fixed time first so I know I will have a good enough version and a bucket version to help with clean render id selections.
I’ve had the same problem on some images of late… and in weird places, like one bucket on a white wall… the rest of the wall rendered fine but for some reason one bucket is stuck on the white wall…
just to be clear it’s not just one bucket in the image its a few but they’re not only on instanced geometry… it’s a big problem as it gets stuck overnight and holds up the entire render farm…
