HI,
I have a very weird issue on many scenes.
No to try debuggind I started a new scene from scratch.
1-  juste one Map for models + corona sun sky . Render onmy workstation Alone Ok, Render + Distributed rendering Ok
2- Scene scene + HDri ,  Render onmy workstation Alone Ok, Render + Distributed rendering Ok
3- Scene scene + HDri + PROXIEs (trees),  Render onmy workstation Alone Ok, Render + Distributed rendering Wrong.... My Main workstation refuse to show and use proxy?? how is it possible. I know it is my worsktation as render takes some times to run on DR. And Immediatly Proxy does not show up.

IR Is OK, Alone Render Is OK,

All files are on my Network, Stored on a Qnap, All is Ok, acces Is ok, Cable are OK,
All max are up to date, All plus have same version, Corona is 8.2, Max 2022 last SP.
any clues ?

Try Another thing,

To convert Proxy back to mesh.
I only did this on One proxy, the bigger one.
See attachement, errors...

--
Than I try a different approch, Use only one node at a time.
And all works ok. What ever node I select, Everything is OK.
But If I check more then One, Errors Are Back

Anyone bump into this issue?

Hi,

Are you getting some errors printed out to the Corona error window or DR logs?

If so, can you tell us what they say?

I will restart my debug scene, to see if any thing pop's up.

So far the only thing we have to do to get it working is have only 1 render node check. It works perfectly. As soon as I check  another one, issues/errors happend again.
Exact same thing on my associate workstation, same error One node Ok, two or more errors.

All pc have access to Shared network

No error on Corona interface, Nothing pops'up
DR log seems ok

The only reason I can think of why a proxy is not rendered is that it cannot be read from the disk.
What happens if you move the proxy file to another location? (local disk, or another network folder)
Could it be some access rights? Maye try running 3ds Max as administrator on the master machine?

Hi, It defenitly seems a files acces error.

I Copied all file to a simple PC with folder acces for every Render node, and all works Ok , many time.

Next Stop Qnap Technical support. To bad for a 2000+€ Nas...

Keep you update If problem solve.

Hi
yes I use Mapped network drive but we use those for more that 3 years now. Never had any particular issue.

I m actually chatting with Qnap technical to find the issue. All pointing to nas issue

AS I try To copy all data to a simple PC and re run 3dsmax Scene, and it was all OK , 500 Mo scene + 3.3 Go proxy/maps/hdri.

I kept you update If I find anything, but seems an Acces file error as answered before

Hi,
back from many days of test, logs files, exchanges, answering with Qnap Support.
And guess what, It is not there problem...

So here is copy of last exchange.
-

1. Files can be edited from multiple clients simultaneously using Corona Rendre, which means SMB functionality is no problem.
2. Corona Rendre doesn't calculate the correct result via SMB, but it's not software supported by QNAP,
So if the customer wants to use Corona Rendre with share, this is a feature request.
-


Any clue ? Might have wait for a move from you guys or just Use custumer support where I buy Qnap, and exchange it with a Synology....

Thanks
