Thought I'd upload some recent work using 3dsMax, Corona and Photoshop.

Comments and critics welcome, it is how we learn to be better.

Thanks for looking.

[Max] I need help! / GrowFX Scene Parsing

« on: 2016-11-02, 13:54:05 »

Hi All.

I have a scene with 8 different grow fx trees in, with a grow fx wind animation modifier for subtle leaf movement. I have instanced these trees around my scene (approx 50 but will need more) and have done a test render on my local machine and it renders without issue. However when I submit it to the render slaves they all get stuck parsing the scene. 0% CPU usage and the RAM stopped counting at approx 6GB.

The slaves all have enough RAM to render the scene, it only uses 16GB locally and they have 32GB and 64GB on the various machines. The 2 32GB machines are i7 based and the 2 64GB machines are xeon e5-1620's.

All are running the latest hotfix of Corona and have installed the render slave growfx plugin on each.

Has anyone had the same issue? And if so how was it fixed please?

Really reluctant to send it to a render farm for it to not work.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Andy

[Max] Resolved Bugs / DR sending the wrong max file to slave machines

« on: 2015-03-24, 10:44:30 »

First of all we're loving Corona, so thank you all very much.

However I'm attempting to process using the DR but it seems to be sending an old max file to the slave machines. The file I'm working on is a large file 360mb and set to process at 4000x2250 pixels.
The file the DR slaves are receiving is an old file of a previous project and completely unrelated to the current project. I opened up the max file it said was received and this confirmed it was a very different file.

Has anyone had and resolved this issue before? Do I simply need to somehow purge the DR queue? If so how?

Thanks very much.

[Max] I need help! / DR stuck in a loop

« on: 2015-02-05, 12:10:01 »

Hi All

I've been testing Corona for a while, and using the DR. It has been fine so far, but all of a sudden the DR slave that has been working fine keeps getting stuck in a loop.

It starts the render OK but then continuously gets to the end of the 3rd pass and then starts the 2nd pass again. It doesn't send any passes back to the host machine, just goes round and round processing the 2nd and 3rd passes until it's forced to stop manually.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or any suggestions on a fix please?

Thanks Very Much
Andy
