1.6 DR

[Dionysios.TS]

So this is a problem on DR slaves? Is Master working properly?

Is complicated to answer...

I am in a very tight deadline and the Master workstation is not participating in these DR jobs. I have 2 DR slaves for this and I sent the Backburner Job to one of them which via DR is connected to the second one. Simple setup, nothing strange... But I don't know if my Master PC could give the same errors as I use it right now with IR, modelling, texturing,ecc and everything is fine.

The images have a VR format 8192x8192.
But all the 3507px are rendered fine without errors!

For now DR continuously gives me the same error via Backburner, adapter error etc,etc, etc... only in very high resolutions!
3507px works perfectly while 8192px not.

Thanks,

Good thing it's reproducible. Could you please check if a minidump file was created on the machine where backburner failed?
If not, it would be very helpful if you could try the render without backburner, by directly connecting to DR slave(s).
Also, could you send me logs from the crashing machine? Corona logs in particular (CoronaMax201* files). Thank you.

I sent  a job to backburner but render doesnt start in 27.03.2017 version.Having the same problem with this daily build.


It's time to go back to 13 th Dec. version :)

Is the DR working if you don't use Backburner? Are there some warnings/errors in Backburner logs?

Hope you're quick on the thank you button because this will blow your mind: this has been happening to me since the beginning. what you do is move your vray plugins from ther plugin folder (2 plugins and the vray folder) and render on the backburner, it will render but you will get an error notification when you open max, then when done move them back.
the vray plugins crash corona maybe, I don't use it of course you can't use it unless it is activated, but you need it there to switch all vray materials into corona ones via the script.

Thanks in advance for now! :)
What I can't understand is why this happens with the very high res images and not with the lower ones + only with the latest daily builds...
Probably I should give a try but not this week. I am very tight with a deadline and I'll install the build which was every stable here.

Thanks for your support and in any case I'll let you know!!!! ;-)

Was there a build with new DR where the large images (8192x8192) rendered without problem?

No unfortunately, was the 09/01 if I am not wrong.

how much ram do you have on the machines? I rendered 8000 pixels wide and almost maxed 64GB,
Thanks

It's not at all a ram problem. I rendered the same image with the 09/01 build without any issues. I thought about the ram too but when I checked during the rendering the SW was using 24GB on 64GB. I also rendered the same images at 3507px resolution without issues as well... The 8K ones don't want to be saved. Everything goes well and fast but at the end the DR system seems blocked from something, arrived at 100% and doesn't do anything. After several minutes I get the error... I hope to find the time to send the minidump file.

I took a look at theDrLog.txt file and I found this:

2017-03-28 22:41:00   DR is finished

Sorry about that, this is only a bad error, it doesn't affect DR server in any way.
Could you look into Corona logs on the machine running backburner?

You mean the DRlog right?

As for the DRServer I attached the file here as it contains a lot of data.

Thanks!

I meant the log from your master, the machine that starts the DR. If I understand your setup, you have PC1 from which you connect to PC2 via backburner. PC2 then starts the DR on slaves PC3, ... And then when the render ends, 3ds Max on PC2 crashes and reports the error in backburner log, is that right? I'd like to see the Corona logs from PC2. They should be stored in the config directory (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\corona)

Yes it's right and I am sorry for the wrong file.
Here are the 3 log files found in the folder of "PC2".

Thanks again,
