Title: Distrubuted render crasches
Post by: visua on 2015-10-21, 10:16:53

I've used Corona for some time now, and yesterday I spent some time installing DR on our slaves at the office.
But they kepp crasching, even with a clean simple scene with a teapot and a corona-sky in there.
What am I doing wrong?!

Hi, sorry, but your report is not very useful. Please provide us with more information. What kind of crash is it? When does it happen? Is there any error message visible? Is there "Autodesk error reporting" window after the crash? What are you doing before it crashes?

It would be best if you started a new support ticket at https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new providing all the possible details.

Also, have you seen this guide?

Hi, the 3ds max dummy crashes, do I need to activate licences on our slaves as well, could that be the issue?
I've read the "how to" and tryin to zero in on the issue.

Yes, you need to activate Corona everywhere. The easiest way would be using the licensing server. If you read the guide, you should already know it. :)

After licensing the slaves its workin great, buut yeah while it stated in your "guide" it waay down there, shouldnt it be
like at the top along with "install corona render"?;)
I mean when youre setting up slaves for vray you dont need a license for the slaves(or am I just confused?) thats
why I never thought about that licensing the slaved could be an issue.

Do not worry, new version will show you a warning on the master machine, if you forget to activate slaves ;)

Thanks for the note. I added the part about activating licenses with bold font. :)
Sometimes the most obvious things are missing from the articles. And DR problems are so diverse that listing few of them in one article is bound to create some chaos.
