The way we work is we have scripted all of the RRT baking functions so it unwraps and sends out the models in a Max file to bake.
Standard RRT baking.
This then gets sent out to Deadline as a Max file for each model that was in the Max file.
The files render on our farm. The texture maps are stored on the network.
Everything seems to be working okay on most of out bakes, but some times we get red renders on surfaces like in the attached image in the original post.
The only thing that's common about those red renders is that there is always a texture on the surfaces, surfaces without textures always render fine.
I am trying to confirm that that's what happens when a texture is missing or not loading into Max / Corona when baking, that the surface renders red.
If that's the case then I can start checking permissions on the machines that red rendered. Unfortunately it seems the permissions should be okay and that something random is happening,
most likely with our network, but maybe Corona.
