[Max] I need help! / Bat file to connect to renderfarm PCs and restart DR server (Help)

« on: 2018-01-05, 12:35:56 »

Hi
In the company that i work we have 14 pcs in the renderfarm. The fact that we need to restart the servers on a daily basis due to the fact that sometimes they stop rendering, or get stuck on parsing scene dialogue, it would really help if i had a bat file that kills the server process and restarts them across the network. (it's becoming a pain to have to connect to each one of them manually and restarting the server by hand).

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Just to condensate the information

I need a way to click one file and have that file do the following in one go:

- connect to all of the pcs (i'm assuming that there's a way to point at them based on their IP)
- kill the Dr Server in all of them
- Start the Dr Server in all of them

Thank you

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Lightmix >Scene breakes instances 3dsmax 2016

Hi (i've searched for this bug but apparently it's not submitted yet).

I've noticed  this bug in 1.6 and it's still present in 1.6 hotfix 1

and it's something that you can recreate

Create a corona light - create instances of it - setup interactive light mix - go to the lightmix and change the value from 1.0 to something else - press >scene = the last light that you created is not instanced anymore.

Can i have some feedback on this? i really like this feature but at the moment i cant really use it because of this bug.

I apologise if this bug was already reported.

Thank you.
