Broken DR - never encountered this one

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

Hi,

all of the sudden none of my nodes renders....
scene gets tranfered to the nodes, its says its starts rendering but after the LC computationa and IM computation nothing gets transfered to the nodes and the nodes are silent.
When i try to turn the nodes on and off while renderign , the vray log window note this and it says start render , but again, nothing renders.
this is really getting on my nerves

restarted all the comps,
reseted the switch,
unpated all the machines with the same level of windows update
merged the scene into a new one,
reseted the vray completely twice..

nothing...

what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot for help!

PS: This had all started after i had a play with Bertrand Benoit Chicago Loft scene....could that be connected? he has dual xeon and doesnt use DR as far as i know....
PS: BERTRAND...that scene is cursed!!!

one more bug inside the scene"

when i firs start the render, the LC computes from 596 hrs...down and takes so long...like 2 hrs to compute
after thati cancel the render and restart it and all of the sudden the LC takes only 7 mins!!!!!

Whats going on?

I am in the middle of a really tight deadline, need to render over the weekend some very hi ress images ...PLEASE HELP!

PS:
installed the freshest vray and its stil broken :-/

right...

so the older scenes render fine

its the NEW one, where i merged some stuff i bought from Bertrand .....that file doesnt render with DR

could it be because hes not using DR? can i reset it somehow to default?
i tried merging into new scene but that doesnt help

I'm also experiencing this (the broken DR bit). Still using 1.5 sr6 and very recently DR just doesn't work anymore, or backburner rendering with vray for that matter. I have done nothing since they all worked other than let the machines run their windows update. Trying to render the files from the dlaves directly results in them not finding a license, even though the license is there and it recently worked.

I had to rebuild that scene completely unfortunatelly to make the file render again

Very strange that broken DR is linked to the scene and not something else...

Do you have any HSDS modifiers in the scene?

Hey, very sorry to hear the scene is causing trouble. Hard for me to help, though, as I don't use DR. Have you found out what was causing the problem(s)?

[vlado]

Very well then, can you get me the problem scene to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can fix this (if it is fixable, of course )

Best regards,
Vlado

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

no problem Bertrand its not your fault at all

Vlado:
will have a look at it if i can still find it ...i might have deleted it after all

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

Thanks for having a look

Best Regards
