DR render problems
Hi
I'm testing the latest 1.0 Corona demo
I installed it on two workstations both with 3ds Max 2014
I authorized the demo on both. I started a render locally and it was fine.
I installed DrServer on both machines (to be sure)
I din't installed the LicenseServer because I'm running the demo on both machines.

I started DrServer on the second workstation.
I pressed search LAN button, Max found the right DR machine ip.
DrServer accepted the connection on ports UDP19666, TCP 19668, loopback TCP19667
Max started to render only locally, no pass was passed from the DR Node.

This is the log:

Re: DR render problems
Hi,
I found the problem!
I installed the latest version of Backburner 2014...uninstalling the old one (2012)
I rendered one frame locally with Server and Manager on (I don't know if it's important) to see if Backburner was installed good.
The test pass was ok.

I launched the Corona Renderer DrServer...and it finally worked!!!

Re: DR render problems
Will use this thread instead of creating another one.
Having exactly the same issue though in my case BackBurner is 2014. Exactly the same thing in Logs and transfered scene file has 0 size always. If i am rendering this without backburner - everything's perfect. Licenses installed and it is working. Any ideas about that ?

Re: DR render problems
Have you tried with the newest version of DrServer? (just replace the .exe everywhere)

Re: DR render problems
Thanks for such fast reply !
I installed it and got a new line in Maxlog file :

13/03/2015 14:36:30;  Camera CAM DK s31 est defined but not found
13/03/2015 14:36:30;  Error rendering frame 0: Camera CAM DK s31 est defined but not found
13/03/2015 14:36:30;  Send End of Job command to Max
13/03/2015 14:36:31;  Job Completed with Error(s) - see above

Re: DR render problems
Hmm.. Are you using the same version of Backburner and Max (BB2014 and Max2014) everywhere? Do you have any other version of BB installed anywhere?

Re: DR render problems
Yep , 2014 - 2014 , and it's only 2 PC's. If i am starting that without BB - it works perfectly.
UP : one thing may be important i think - when i am rendering from BB i have this line
13/03/2015 15:17:47;  Renderer:
it is empty , when locally - it is CoronaRenderer written there.

Re: DR render problems
And you have Corona installed and activated on both PCs?
Does local rendering work on both PCs?
Sorry for the stupid questions but they sometimes help. :)

Re: DR render problems
haha no worries at all
sure network works and license is activated on both (i have activation file used.txt on both) , and if i start render from another PC without BB - they are picking up the scene perfectly and rendering without any troubles. When it comes to BB - nothing there.
Let me explain scheme of how i am working.

I have workstation , lets call it WS , and there are rendernodes (RN1 and RN2) , on one of them there is backburner server started (on RN1) and on RN2 i have corona distributed started. So when i am sending a job RN1 is picking it up and rendering , but RN2 (the distributed one) is not rendering - gives error. And exactly the same thing vise versa - BB server on RN2 is picking scene perfectly , while distributed on RN2 gives error.
Though if i am rendering from WS without sending job to BB - they both with DR turned on - render perfect.
Hope that is clear enough , it's a bit messy explanation , sorry for that.

Re: DR render problems
Do you have the same version of Max with the same updates (service packs) installed on all of the PCs? There was an issue where this helped.

Re: DR render problems
Yeap its everywhere the same. Tried to start BB server on WS and distributed on RN1 and RN2 - still the same thing.

Re: DR render problems
Some more information about that is that VRay DR is working perfectly in exactly the same way as i'm trying to make Corona work , that should exclude plugins , versions and such things.

Hi maru,

Re: DR render problems
hi,
that last message means that some other application is running at the same port - posibly another instance of the DR server. Try looking for it in the task manager
