Dist. rendering problem.

[runelore]

Hi,

 

I have a small issue with distributed rendering which I cannot find the solution to.

 

When I am rendering I have a problem with distributed rendering rendering the wrong image or rendering artifacts on the image. I have attached an image as an example.

 

The incorrect area is always in the same spot and is always the same. When I disable distributed rendering it renders fine with no issues what so ever. There are no textures or external files in the Max file what so ever as I have not got to the texturing/lighting stage yet.

 

I am just confused as to why this is happening. My Vray settings are fine as when I disable distributed rendering there are no issues at all when I render. Also there are no errors or problems in any of the logs for the Distributed rendering server system. This is a problem that happens from time to time which I just cannot track down..

 

Many thanks for any help..

 

PS . I have no problems with Dist Rendering at all, it is set up and is working fine with no errors at all.

HI, man

did you tried to put some material on the rail?Cause to me the rail is the problem?

[runelore]

Hello,

 

thanks for the response.

 

The answer is no, no materials other than the standard Vray are being used and no maps at all. I even tried enabling the global material override in the vray settings tab and used a standard Vray material and the same thing happens, it is strange. The scene setup is the same as every other scene but this 1 part of the scene just isnt rendering properly.

 

I could delete the rail and re-model it but that isnt really an answer or solution around this problem..

 

again many thanks for your reponse..

 

PS - I have just deleted the rail and remodelled it and the problem is now resolved. I have no idea why it happened and hope it doesnt happen again.

I didnt mind remodelling the rail, but something really complex wouldnt be any fun..

Hm, very strange indeed.

I don't know, i see that the other rail is ok, try to use instance of it.

I could imagine this time it was max and not DR fault....I'm almost positive.

 

if it happens again , try "selecting all", then "save selected" and merge or simply use the new saved file with DR.

 

DR is a pain in the butt sometimes..but not in this case.
