Hi All

Hi all. Forum Noob here

 

I wanted to ask if anyone has had issues with render nodes not responding when doing a distributed render with max and Vray.

 

Sometimes the render nodes will kick in, and render fine, but most of the time it transfers the scene to all the machines, and when it starts building the light cache, they all start giving 'not responding' errors. Initially it was thought that this was a licensing issue, but after having swapped the dongle out to different machines, I am still having the same issues. When I render simple scenes out, it also works perfectly, but the moment I load up more complex scenes they bomb out.

 

If anyone has any ideas as to what might fix this, it would be greatly appreciated!!

 

I'm using 3ds Max 2008 - x64, and Vray1.50 SP2, as well as WinXP Pro x64.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

MechB.
