Dave Buchhofer Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 if you're using an older version of vray the newer (RC) versions fix this. It was a backburner problem that was beginning to be noticed when 1.5SP3 was out. searching for numthreads on the chaos group forums will get you the 'temp' fix that works with sp3.

danb4026 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hey Guys, I am having a slight problem with DR that I can't seem to figure out. My two machines are rendering with DR fine, except that my slave machines buckets are ever so slightly darker. I have no default lighting on, so thats not the issue. All plugins are installed properly as far as I can tell and maps are all in a network folder with full access. Everything is just a tad darker. On a low res render you can hardly notice it, but on a high res, you can see where the different machines buckets are producing different results. Any ideas?

BrianKitts Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 make sure you have the exact same release version of vray on both machines. Do a search on chao's forums, I know I've seen this issue on there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 here are 2 screen shots of the exact same scene rendered by Vray but on my 2 different machines (host and slave) NOT using DR...simply opened max on both machines, opened the same file on each and rendered with Vray. All vray settings were identical and the scenes had all identical settings (same file). Look at the difference in the shadows...I think that may be where the problem lies. I cannot for the life of me think what might be causing the differnence. Would a different graphics card be why? One is a Nvidia Quatro 4600 and the other is a Quatro 1700.

Tommy L Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Not a graphids card problem. My hunch is that you have a map that is not unc mapped to its location. Open the asset tracker and make sure ALL the locations are UNC. then check if any light maps (irradience maps etc) are not unc mapped. Sometimes just hitting refresh in the asset browser fixes this problem. I battled with it for a while, but it always came down to something not being UNC mapped.

danb4026 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Looks like that was the problem! I have no idea why I would have 2 different service packs, I installed at the same time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
