Stresstesting here with a heavy scene (SSS shader on the mandelbrod closeup with dof)
The FTH warnings came back so I completely disabled FTH on all machines wich apparently isnt that good of an idea to do ?
Is there a specific lists of tasks that need to be in the exclude list ?

for now I added
WSCommCntr4.exe
3dsmax.exe
DrServer.exe

The error popup keeps on giving the WSCommCntr4.exe as affected executables.

The 1.3RC distributed rendering works again for me, i do get 2 FTH warnings on 2 nodes but it doesnt affect rendering as far as I can see.

The FTH logs doesn't show any activity doh about 3dsmax or corona, like explained here
https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000678431

Solved, it was de WSCommCntr4.exe that had the FTH, disabled it in regedit worked.

Any news on the distributed rendering ? Got some highres print renders that would benefit...
The official release works but the latest build breaks it.

I just tried reinstalling the official and it works again. I'm going for the official one till my deadline passed. Then I can get back at testing.

OK, reinstalled the latest daily build and the distributed anomality happens again.

here's the logfile in attachment, I tried rebooting all systems and trying a different scene but same thing occurs.
In the renderwindow it says failed at every node. It's like all nodes are trying to be master ?

I do see a "Got bogus master connection" warning in the logs...

could it be the distributed rendering is broken ? The nodes get activated, they render but they don't send any updates to the main computer
and when the main computer stopped, they keep on rendering.  Using october21 daily build.

oh ok, I thought it was very handy to not have it as a texmap or at least have both options so you don't need to go make the bumpmaps unneccessary complex.

With upcoming christmas, some might find this one handy.
It's setup with the 1.3 dailybuild oct20 using coronaLayeredMtl so the snow is automaticly generated on the top of your objects disregarding of the underlying material.
Enjoy :)

Hi, I'm currently running a dual 18core machine (72 threads HT) and as most software does, it only runs on 1 numa node meaning I only use half of my computer performance.
For vray there's a workaround to startup a distributed copy that is assigned to the other numa node. Would it be possible to do the same for corona but built in ?
I can image that futureproof wise there will be more people needing this.
