Hi man, I'm having a problem with this, And i could not figure it out, The VraySpawner keeps opening and closeing the 3DSmax window, never "Stays" Ive tested a lot of releases... I'm actualy using 1.5RC3... Any tip?

@mito0101 go for v-ray. vrayspawner in slave (also can be installed in master machine) should be standby to receive instruction for the master to do rendering. when they got instruction, then will go to do rendering.

Hey buddy,

i was just wondering how you get Vray to do this? I find I cant get it to DR for animations, except the first frame...

Are you using backburner or similar?

thanks in advance!! :D

Cheers

@bradcurnow this one i didnt use backburner, only distributed renderer from v-ray, but you can combine using back burner too.

@carmilache it is a problem came from the Win7. i got same problem too with security issue for win7. it doesn't allow vray DR to access the folder where map files placed. even this folder already opened to any users which are already granted to access. i tested for Mental Ray, win7 allowed them, not yet for v-ray to me. may be other people have solved this problem. at moment, not using relative path // but use exact path, c:.. and place same files in the same folder each slaves.

@afumadous i got the problem fixed- on one machine i had w vista and on the other w7- that's why it did not work;) now i have other problems, when i hit render one bucket renders good while the other forgets to render the textures, and when i got that sorted out- one was rendering a litle brighter than the other- to this day i can't find out why

@usidda render farm no need high spec. but a lot of pc. in this experiment i only use old renderfarm with old xeon processor 3.2 GHz with 2GB ram each node, onboard vga and lan. it was 4 node or active 3 node, i forgot. in limited budget, just customize render farm for $400 each node ( for motherboard (with build in LAN), processor and ram). the storage use network storage. times to 400, you'll have 400 node only cost $16.000. my friend was did this low cost render farm for some project.

@angryDAnerd its depend on the memory needed for your scene. if you have so many polygons and high resolution material, you know, as max and V-Ray is hungry for memory due to that case. as long as your scene doesn't required huge memory, your 8GB machine will do rendering also. i suggest to increase your virtual memory for the master also the slave node for big scene and high resolution material (mapping). Increase your processor to high end is more significant then increase memory.
