General CG Discussion / Hair and fur pop up warning

« on: 2020-02-04, 09:01:42 »

Hi all, is there a way to stop 3dsmax showing warning for Hair and Fur "Memory limits may be excerded..."? It shows at every file open and render, super annoying.

Thanks,
H

Hardware / Re: Network setup

« on: 2020-01-07, 17:55:25 »

I've opened alot of tickets regarding DR and never got real solution to the problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't...

Thanks again!
Thanks Juraj, I will try raising max pixel transfer and see what happens. There are 8 of us in the office so there is alot of traffic going on, so would like to hear network setups of offices with more then 10 people who use in house render farm.

You would be surprised how few have 10GBe setups :- ).

Overall though I feel is that it's 3dsMax & Corona which are more to blame for often arcane behavior of DR.

So your NAS is connected with only one cable to the switch?

They seem to get more stable as render goes on, but doesn`t scale as it should. For lower resolution we put 30 sec sync inter, for bigger 60 sec, both 500 000 max pixels. Tried all possible combinations, this worked best. How do you set it?
Do you have ports port trunked?

Hardware / Network setup

« on: 2020-01-07, 15:30:07 »

Hi all, we are having some DR issues so wanted to check if it could be network related. We have Qnap Ts-2888x with 4 10gbe intel nic`s port trunked (8 ports) to a Cisco 10 gbe switch with total of 80 gbe, so I`m not sure if it is better to have it port trunked or make all ports unlinked? Problems occur when rendering 6k resolution images with many lightmixes etc (big files) with DR, sometimes slower nodes render faster then faster ones, sometimes a node just steps out of rendering etc. Thought I ask if someone has similar setup and got it to work correctly.

Thanks,
H

[Max] I need help! / Epyc Rome poor corona results

« on: 2019-12-27, 18:44:37 »

Hi all, we bought a dual ES 7742 system and have pretty low score in corona benchmark and corona performance in general. All other benchmarks results are as they should be, so not sure if it's corona related? Do we have to untick some dev options or something?

Thanks,
Hrvoje

I'm also getting poor performance in corona too, cinebench r20 is around 30k so that is correct. Are there any limitations to core number or something in corona?

Hi, just got new node setup and got this error, never saw it before.
bad allocation</Error></root>

Node can't reach master or vice versa?

Thanks,

We just finished a new node, a dual 7742 ES and get very funny result of 36 sec. Cinebench R20 scales correct to 30k. Any insights on this?

Thanks,
