I like this because it will give me a render queue, but have other machines contributing buckets.This article describes how to deactivate or reactivate Terminal Services Licensing on a server that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.Īpplies to: Windows Server 2003 Original KB number: 814593 Summary I just did a test of this and it seemed to work pretty well. I hear you on the split strips, I think what I am going to do is submit the render to backburner as a single image, assign the job to one of the machines and then allow V-Ray’s Distributed Rendering to bring in all the other machines.
To my surprise it did! I guess the nodes were having the same issue that they were in Backburner in which they couldn’t get through the firewall to grab the V-Ray license. To this point- I ended up trying out a DR just for kicks yesterday to see if it would work. There are some hiccups, but in general its very stable I can assure you it is stable - i an office we had it running on 10+ machines with 300+mb scenes Just saw in your inital post that you tried dr In case you are wondering what i am talking about: I see you just went through installing backburner and so on - but i strongly recommend to go for the DR-service. Plus you will have a lot of headaches with the light cache not working properly. Those became obsolete with distributed rendering in vray… Just wondering why you are rendering strips? The Max file sits on a server that all machines involved have access to, this location is the same place where all the maps/textures are and everything has been given a UNC path in Asset Tracker.ĭoes anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this? I’m at the end of my rope here haha. License server settings (IP shown is the IP of the workstation, User Name/Password boxes are filled in with the username/password of the workstation, screenshot is taken from the slave)
all machines have the correct ports opened up all machines are on the same network and have static IPs assigned to them 3 i7 3770 render slaves, two are 3770k machines
I can’t get Backburner to work with VRay because it always errors out due to a licensing issue. Now, my boss (the guy who creates all the scenes) uses VRay for all his work. Basic setup wasn’t extremely difficult, and I got scenes using Mental Ray to render out split scan lines. So upon recommendation from our reseller I have been attempting to get Backburner to work for me. I tried for a couple of weeks to utilize VRay’s Distributed Rendering, but wow(!) it’s too unreliable to be useful.
4 weeks later and I am still running into problems. At work I was tasked with the job to get a network rendering pipeline setup for 3dsMax 2014.
