network rendering problem

[mzex]

Hello!

I have two computer i5 2500k and i7 3930k.

I set a scene on i5 and all the data (project and textures) are saved on i5's HDD and is linked to my project through network drive. My drive E: on both computers is mapped as network drive, so it has letter Z and all textures have network path (Z:\projekti/...)

When I render only on i5 everything is OK.

When I render on i5 as master and on i7 as slave everything works.

If I open that file on i7 through network drive (nothing is saved on i7's hdd) everything is rendered correctly.

If I open project on i7 (still nothing is saved on i7's HDD) and add i5 as render slave I have problem. Everything rendered by i5 has no textures. Somehow i5 forgets to load data.

v-ray I use is 2.2 in max design 2012.

What should I do?

try UNC paths not letters.

I have found answer here:

and one thing to note is that path should look like:

\\server name\disk drive\directory name\...

 

at first my mistake was that I put : after e. it looked like this:

\\svejedno\e:\projekti\...

this hasn'e worked.

 

sythax that worked:

\\svejedno\e\projekti\...

 

Now I will test it on other comp.
