That message keeps popping up even when everything works OK... I've disabled all other network adapters except the one that I use for LAN.

I have a gigabit ethernet switch and all computers in the office are connected over cable. This morning again I connected to servers with Teamviewer, I see that the Backburner server app is not working, I start it - and it continues rendering normally... they work now, and they will work for hours - but sooner or later one or both of them will stop... It is really frustrating :)

Thanks for the fast answer...

Hello friends,

After trying everything I could find on 3DS Max forums or online, I had to ask this question here because it happens constantly.

I have one WS and two servers as render nodes. When I use DR everything works fine. When I render animations with a backburner, everything starts working well... and it works well for hours, but after some time Backburner server app on my nodes just turns off without any reason. Sometimes it happens only on one server, sometimes on both. Strangely enough, the Backburner server working on my WS keeps working as expected. It is really annoying considering it usually happens at night when I can't start up the server's app again, so I lose precious hours of render time on servers.

I also tried to use Pulze render manager, and with that everything works fine. No stops and it can keep rendering for days.

If anyone had a similar problem, help would be appreciated...

Thanks a lot,
Bosko L.

Hello guys,
What I usually do is Refine the mask by shifting the edge in the minus direction...

To access this option in PS CC you have to: Click on your mask, then with a Shift key pressed you click on "Select>Select and Mask"...

I hope this will help.

PS I also tried with Affinity photo but results are the same like PS.

Lovely Images well done.
Is there some reason the old drawing is not straight on the image?

Hello Philip, thanks for the comment...
Old drawing I found on the internet and just insert it as it is... :)

Gallery / The Schell Memorial Bridge
« on: 2021-02-20, 16:40:45 »
Here is my take on the amazing Schell bridge.


The first bridge to span the Connecticut River as it flows southwards into Massachusetts from the Vermont/New Hampshire border is this beautiful, unique, and highly significant structure. The construction of the Schell Bridge (or the proper full name the Schell Memorial Bridge) was started in 1901 and completed in 1903, and served traffic until structural deterioration forced its closing in 1985. Since then its future has been uncertain, with the state of Massachusetts trying more then once to demolish the bridge (with a lack of funding usually being a saving grace). Demolition is again planned for this bridge, with its removal and replacement with a pedestrian bridge a stated goal for the state by the end of the decade.

Hello dear friends… Just wish to inform you that there is a new update for the latest version of Grass Kit 5. Some of the customers reported bugs in v5, and I tried to fix them all with this update.

Please replace the previous .lib4d file with a new one. If you did not receive a notification from my gumroad store please contact me on my email.

Bugs fixed:
Long parsing time for Corona version with a large number of clones
Disappearing clones on Vray 3.7 and Physical render when using clippers
Some other minor bugs and fixes


I also added a new option (requested by some users)
Random cloners height for each type of grass

Thank you again for using GK, and for all your support…

All the best,
Bosko L.

Is there an upgrade path? I just bought the previous version 4.5.

I've sent an email to everyone who bought version 4.5 with a 50% discount code...
If you did not receive it please send me a mail and I will send you a new code.

All the best,
Bosko L.

Hello dear friends…

I wish to present to you the latest update of Grass Kit brings supports for five render engines (Vray 3.7, Vray 5, C4D Physical renderer, Corona, and Redshift) and Cinema 4D R23 support all in one package. This update is also much faster, and it brings some new options like slope and altitude clipping and clones collision.
Thanks a lot for all your support and I hope you will enjoy using it…

The pluggin doesn't work with interactive rendering.... why ?

I am sure it is working with IR, it just does not show multi instances (yet), because these are not yet supported by IR.

Hey Cinemike,
Thanks a lot for this answer... :) I hope soon we will see multi-instances in IR

hello! I've bought your grass plug in, and I'm very happy with it! now I have an inquiry, which is to render cut grass..; is it a way to have an "end" of the blades like cutted? thank you!

Hello Celmar,
yes, you can make the grass look cut on top by changing the grass profile. Please check out my YT tutorial about GK 4.5

This looks great. Is this plug-in Mac Cinema 4D r20 and Corona v5 compatible? I only see it running on Windows in your videos. Thanks.

hello there, and thanks for your interest in GK, and yes, it will work on mac too...

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: GRASS KIT V4 | CINEMA 4D R20+

Hi, do we need two threads for one product? Could the original thread be update or if no longer needed, removed?

Sorry if this was against the rules of forum. GK v4 is new version, but actually it is really very different from previous one in many ways. If moderators think it is too much they can merge it in one thread.

all the best,
Bosko L.

Hey Bossco,

Just getting into your plugin 3.1 for C4D, excellent work...thought you'd want to know there's a typo:

For example:

'Blade lenght' - Blade length
'Lenght subdivision' - Length subdivision

Cheers!

Hahaha yes I've realized that but it was too late... I hope I fixed that in new Grass Kit v4 that I posted in this thread...
