[C4D] I need help! / Re: Team Render - black chunks, long transfer time

The Farm consists of 16 nodes. We have some with Xeon E5-2630, Xeon E5-2692 v2 with 16 cores and such.
The only option left to do which the support suggested is turning the firewall and anti virus off, which we did not do yet due to security reasons - obviously.

[C4D] I need help! / Team Render - black chunks, long transfer time

« on: 2022-09-12, 14:18:28 »

Hey,

when switching from local to team render, is it normal to have the image being built up like in my screenshots?
When rendering local it's very helpful for the workflow to "quickly" see the first impressions.
When rendering via team render it takes some time to finally get the first random chunks. Before the whole image gets the first whole pass, I am always having a big line of random black chunks still remaining at the bottom of the image. Is this just how it works with team render or do I have to change some settings?

Also when the render is done, depending on the render times and probably project size it takes up to 30 minutes or more to get the remaining chunks from the nodes on the local farm.

My team render settings are set to Automatic.
But I have also tried with shorter/longer client update intervals and larger/smaller maximum size of packets.

Is this just how it works with team render or do I have to change some settings?

I am using Corona 8 and C4D R25.

Hey,

I am wondering if it's supposed to be normal to have a shadow pass looking this flakey?
If not, how can I get rid of those bright spots?

The screenshots are from a simple test-scene to reproduce the issue.
It consists of scattered landscapes with a lightly reflective checkerboard physical material applied.

Those spots appear on final render shadow passes as well, even with a noise level limit of around 3-5.
They don't seem to disappear even after hours of rendering.
I didn't get those spots when still using V-Ray 3...

Attached you will also find my render settings.
I am using Corona 8.
The scene lighting consists of a simple corona sun and corona sky.

Thanks in advance!
