Hello Corona Team and Members. First of all, im stunned by corona, how fast it is and how easy one can create beautiful renders with it. Im Coming from Vray and since i have a lot of CPU`s to render on, i wanted to migrate to another CPU renderer but a faster one and more affordable, so yesterday i started my 45 Day trial and i love it.
Now my problem: I have two rendernodes, 48 and 72 threads. When i render using Coronas built in DR Server, it renders fine for about 10 to 20 minutes and then crashes max. It looks like its freezing max, saves the rendered image just fine (rendernode says "Ready for new connection") and then 3ds max closes with a "report to autodesk" window. On the rendernode is no error in the log.
What i know:
-Backburner seems to work fine, i use it daily with Vray and i can also render with itself without problems.
-On all machines is the exact same Backburner Version installed.
-There are no artifacts or error in the rendered images (missing textures etc).
-It does not crash if i render on local PC`s (on my workstation or the nodes itself).
What i tried:
-Playing around with the Settings "Synchronization Interval" and "Max Pixels to transfer at once"
-Reinstalling Corona
-Using the rendernode as "workstation" and my actual workstation as "Node", same result.
My PC specs:
Workstation
-Windows 7 pro 64bit
-i7-3930k @3.8ghz
-32gb RAM
-3ds Max 2018
-Corona 3
-Backburner 2018
Rendernode
-Windows 7 pro 64bit
-2*Xeon e5-2670v3
-64gb RAM
-3ds Max 2018
-Corona 3
-Backburner 2018
My second rendernode has the exact same specs but a different CPU: 2*Xeon e5-2696v3
One of the main reasons i want Corona as my new Render engine, is its similar DR workflow i learned to love from Vray. If this feature works fine, you`ve sold me.
Its a really weird behavior since it crashes for no reason, obviously there must be a reason, it just dosent feel like there is one. I dont see CPU`s overheating, i dont see ram overflow, no plugins are used, no errors in the log.
Thanks in advance!
