Network Renders darker than initial workstation test shots

[Rendermedia]

Hi All,

 

I am in a bit of a fix at the moment,

I have lit a scene on my workstation in vray and it all looks great, I submit the scene to the render farm and checked the first few couple of frames and noticed that the renders were really dark like a layer of black set to 40% opacity was overlayed.

 

has anyone ever come across this before?

 

Cheers

Mark

are you rendeiring in gama 2.2?

 

if so then your renders will look darker in the framebuffer when you check them on the network while rendering, it should come out fine when finished and saved.

Are all maps (esp. HDRI) in a path the renderfarm can access? I mean make sure that no scene maps are on a local drive (unless your farm has access to C:). Also, how are you viewing the images in Max and the ones from the farm? If I look at Max frmebuffer tests vs. farm shots (Pshop or Irfan) they look different.
