[SOLVED] Corona DR - no response from MAX (3dsmaxcmd.exe)

[SOLVED] - Don't render a negative frame in your timeline.

Hi again!

This time I'm having problems with Corona DR (it's a shame as alpha 7 was perfect in every way and everything just worked! :( )
I'm attaching the log files so someone can have a look at them and explain what I need to do to fix this ASAP.

Basically it receives the ping, accepts the file, tries to launch 3dsmaxcmd.exe, fails and then stops. Rinse and repeat that indefinitely.

Thanks!

EDIT: Works fine with a new scene on MAX 2015 on both machines. Does NOT on my current scene on MAX 2014 or 2015 for some reason. No errors on rendering as far as I can tell on the master!

What I've already tried:
1) Made sure the slave has the license activated
2) Installed Backburner 2014 (Max Design 2014 on slave machine)
3) Even made sure I've got the local content (files and textures) in the same directories as the master
4) Tried re-installing Corona with DR on the slave machine

So it´s "only" the scene. Wich frames should render? Do you use negative frame numbers?

[Rimas]

HAHA, yep, I was just about to post that my timeline contained a negative number and I solved it. I moved the start trim to frame zero and it renders fine!
What a headache this was :O

grrrr.... let me ask autodesk if there is any way to specify negative frame number when rendering from commandline

[Rimas]

Nice one Ondra, it seems that I'm not the only one aware of this now :)

Wow, this is a real breakthrough!

Ok, seems this has been solved. Therefore archiving to resolved section.
