Vray Spawner Randomly missing textures

[jehanfabri]

Hi guys,

 

I've just upgrade to Max 2014 and Vray 3.

And I'm doing some test about Distributed Rendering

 

But I got a weird problem...

When I render my test scene (2 textured planes and a couple of teapot):

 

-Sometimes It's all fine (the 1st render of the day for instance is always OK)

 

 

 

 

- Some nodes/spawner don't render their bucket with 1 texture...

 

 

 

 

- Some nodes/spawner don't render their bucket with both texture...

 

 

 

I did absolutely no change between these 3 renders, just hit the "Render" button 3 times in a row...

 

 

These results seems totally random to me :/

My "render-PCs" have the same mapped drive.

I just dont get it...

 

Do you have any idea about what is going on?

hi!

You must set network path for your textures. like so "\\yournetwork\textures\" .

same thing happen with me and i don't know why all map are i taking from same network address

You should not use mapped drives. Change to \\"computerwithtextures\"pathtotexturesonthatcomputer"

are you using a fileserver running osx?

it looks like your second machine doesn't have permission to ready from where ever you are storing your maps. if setting the paths to UNC paths didn't fix it, try to double check the permission on the folder where your scene assets are stored. You can either run the DR as an application and it will assume the rights of the user you are logged in as . . . or if you run it as a service, try running the service with your logon credentials (as opposed to a local service).
