Is it possible to create a 3D model from a 2D .dwg CAD file? I always just assumed that all DWG's were already 3D. I want to be able to use it in 3ds max 2014. N101.zip

I have an interior scene where I've placed a plane outside the window with a bitmap image and VRayLightMtl. All looks pretty good, except that there's a mirror in the scene that doesn't want to reflect back the scenic, but rather pure white. Also, there's a computer screen that is reflecting pure white as well. Any ideas to make the bitmap reflect back in the mirror and screen? Thanks.

Seems like you should be getting *some* error message? And you're sure that you have Distributed Render checked in your Render prefs and that the IP of the two laptops is in there? For me, my issues was a firewall thing. I eventually was able to fix the issue.

I have a question too about this. My Host has 6 cores, and a slave has 8, and another 4. So should the script be script: renderers.current.system_numThreads=8 ? Would that be correct? That is what I tried and I noticed that all machines are using 100% for the most part, but there are certain periods where they will drop to less than 50%, but then go back up to 100%. Is that expected? The other issue that I'm having is that I get an error message about the host "warning: Could not connect to host 192.168.0.195: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." Oddly enough though, the host does show up in the render buckets, so it is working, but why I get this error, I don't know. Thanks Dave
