Hi All, I have a trouble with Vray distributed rendering, when i hit render, i have a green message in VRay log : "Could not connect to host 192.168.0.2:20204:Connection timeout" Somebody please help me to solve it, i've searching around and still can't find a solution for it. Thanks Before

Hi, I have had a dual Xeon workstation for about 4yrs and it has worked fine with no problems. About two yrs ago I purchased an I7 workstation (as was always the plan) which is now my main modeling machine leaving my older one to do the grunt of the rendering etc.. About 8 months ago I decided to set up Vray DR across these machines. All has worked brilliantly up until this month. Now when I render an image using this set up they both jump in and start rendering fine, but around 1hr into the render the dual Xeon machine gives up. It crashes and the monitor linked to it goes black, but with a white cursor blinking in the top left corner. It doesn't seem to over heat (its liquid cooled with 2x corsair Hydro H80's), as its freezing in my attic studio this time of year (writing this with gloves on), and it was fine over the summer. I swapped out the graphics card with a different one just as a test but as I thought that's not the problem. I'm stuck really and don't know where to go from here. I need to get this sorted asap as I promised a mate I would do some Architectural Visuals over xmas, so any help would be massively appreciated!! Thanks Adam

I have 3 Computers. One is my main workstation where i do all the work and stuff. when i use VRay DR to render it also renders along with the 2 computers so i can't continue with working on other stuff. I just want the other 2 computers to render and not my Main PC. Is there a way to exclude my Main PC from rendering?

hello , I been trying to get vray DR to work with vrayfur with no success every time i am trying to render a scene with vrayfur all my render slaves start to receive the data , ram's get Full to 100% on all PC's but CPU not working at all and on my main PC rendering get way slower than a single PC while only main PC buckets are working , would you please tell me how to get it to work . or maybe am doing something wrong ? i have all pc's with same ver. of vray and max and all plug-ins and scripts on each pc , and every texture and mats saved on a network drive which can be accessed from anywhere and every thing in my max file re-linked using bitmap re-link to that drive . my rendering network setup : 4 Pc's Each have : 16 gb ram's i7 930 cpu and connected throw 1gb network ports . using windows 7 ultimate with latest updates . 3ds max 2014 sp2 and vray 2.40.4 x64 .
