Vray 3.0 & Backburner Issue

[theeastcoastwest]

So I may be trying to over-complicate something that Chaos group has intended to simplify, but I have had trouble with Backburner since I upgraded to Vray 3.0.

 

Normally (in releases before 3.0), after my render settings are finalized I would check a tick box titled "Net Render" under the common parameters rollout of the Vray render settings menu.

 

This option is gone now.

 

My purpose of using this feature was always to set up a render "queue" on a locally-hosted server on my workstation. When I leave work at night, I start the server rendering with jobs saving out channels upon completion, then moving to the next job.

 

I was NOT using this feature for distributed rendering, and utilizing only my single local workstation.

 

Anyone have a clue where this feature has gone?

 

A peculiar side effect of this change is that my former "final" render preset for Vray had the "net render" option pre-ticked. Now, whenever I load that preset and click render, it still tries to send it to the Backburner manager on my local machine(to no avail.) However, I can't find anywhere to disable the option, which pretty much makes any preset I had with it checked useless.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As you are still here, when I am writing this, I would suggest you to write to Chaos Group directly.

As far as I know, they answer on almost every question.

Good luck!

Sounds like this is what you are looking for.

JOHN!

 

That's got to be it. I won't be on the workstation with Vray 3.0 til later today, but I'll post an update to whether or not that solved the mystery.

 

I've got to say, that looks like it though. That is the only place I didn't think to look as well.

 

 

Many Thanks.
