I have several scripts that have the option to summit to netrendering with vray, and works with out any problems, but when I try to summit with Mental ray it doesnt work, it just doesnt summit the scene.
I have try Final Render, Brazil, Max Default Vray and they all work, only mental ray doesnt work.
All this happens in Max2009, it works fine on Max2008
Has anyone found the same issue and possibly a solution?
Thanks,
Guillermo Leal.
how are you submitting the job(s)?
I just did a quick test here with mental ray as the renderer; submitted and rendered OK (2009×32 SP1)
man = netrender.getmanager()
man.connect #manual "localhost"
man.queryControl #wait -- pushed monitor button
man.getControl()
job = man.newJob() -- current scene
job.submit()
Guillermo,
Maybe you did this already, but you might want to try submitting the scene via the UI first to make sure there’s nothing wrong with the scene itself. In Max 2009, if you switch the renderer to mental ray and without making any changes submit it for network rendering, it fails (no error message is created, either).
In the Render Setup Dialog, in the Renderer tab, in the Camera Effects rollout, in the Camera Shaders group, you need to delete that DefaultOutputShader that’s in the output slot in order to allow mental ray to net render properly.
Jon,
Haaaaaa that did it!, thanks so much its been driving me crazy for a few days. This is so wired.
Thanks again.
