Hi,
i'm facing a problem while setting a new node for DR.
It seems to work fine, but is very slow.

My workstation 01 is a AMD TR 2990wx @ 4ghz
The new workstation 02 is a dual xeon  ES 2698v4 @ 2ghz

While rendering, 01 makes 11 passes when 02 update 25 time and render 2 passes.

I use Pulze SM to manage this.

Usage on 02 is 95% cpu, 50% RAM...

All connected with a modem router.
Also, as you can see the name of 02 is pretty weird, I didnt put that...! Can't change it, it keeps changing back.

Any idea ? Thx !

Hi, can you see how it works without Pulze? (not blaming the software for anything, just trying to rule out possible issues!)
So could you try with Corona's DR only, or with Backburner only?

If the scene is very heavy, the process of sending it to the node and then starting up can take quite a lot of time as well. So maybe you just need to allow some more time for the node to heat up before it reaches its peak speed?

Good Luck

This one is that annoying bug introduced in v5 when using dr server for the first time after starting it, usual.

But here might be your problem. I suspect psd-manager is missing and any script maybe related to it throws an error. I'm not familiar with psd-manager but I suspect it has to be installed on all participating nodes which seems not to be the case.


Good Luck



Never underestimate the power of a well placed level one spell.

Well, I saw that and installed Vray demo + copied PSDmanager file as told on the cebas website, but doesnt seems to resolve anything....

Hi,

This might sound like a strange fix, but if you have your view locked in the 3ds max render setup I recommend to unlock and relock the view, save the scene and try to render with DR again.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Rowan

I was also counting on the "lock icon fix"...

Here are some more ideas:
- Do you have the same plugins installed on both computers, and the same versions?
- Do you have Backburner installed on both computers?
- Do you have any non-Latin characters in your Windows username, asset names, paths?

- Are you able to open the scene locally on both computers, and successfully start local rendering? (locally, without any kind of network rendering involved)

- The maxscript error can be fixed by increasing the maxscript heap allocation size, here is how:
See point 2 "Set Maxscript...":
https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000019416

Other than that:
(sorry if some of that is repeated)
- Disable any antivirus software you are using on all PCs (including Windows Defender and Firewall) - this is just to check if the issue is related to this software. You can then turn it back on.
- Open your scene, go to Render Setup, deselect the small "lock" icon in the top right corner. Click on any viewport, then click on the viewport you want to render again. Enable the "lock" icon in the top right corner of the Render Setup window again. Resave your scene. Unlocking and locking viewport like this sometimes helps with DR issues.
- Refresh the 3ds Max ENU folder by either renaming or removing it. Note that this will remove all your custom ui settings, keyboard shortcuts, etc, so it is best to leave a backup of the ENU folder.
See: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Resetting-3ds-Max-3ds-Max-Design.html

If the above 3 points did not help, here are some other ones worth trying:

- Add custom inbound/outbound rules in Windows Firewall.
See: Creating custom inbound and outbound rules for the DR Server application
- Are you using some VPN software? If so, please stop using it and make sure you are using BB/DR on a "classic" local network.
- Do not mix Corona's DR and Backburner. Use only one or the other.
- Make sure on each computer there is only one instance of: 3ds Max, DR server, Backburner. If there are multiple instances running at the same time (for example two 3dsmax.exe processes), some issues may appear.
- Do not render from perspective view - use some kind of camera, preferably Corona Camera.
- Disable IPv6.
See: https://medium.com/@JockDaRock/disabling-ipv6-on-network-adapter-windows-10-5fad010bca75
- Go to Windows Services list and make sure "Function Discovery Provider Host" and "Function Discovery Resource Publication" are started. Set them to automatic start.
- Make sure you have network discovery enabled.
See: https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/turn-on-or-off-network-discovery-in-windows-10.html
