3ds Max :: Backburner 2014 Could Not Find A Manager

Oct 30, 2013

I'm trying to set up Backburner and 3DS Max Design, and I'm a newbie to both. I'm getting the warning 'Could not find a Manager. Will keep trying...' when I try to connect to my manager machine from the server machine using the manager's IP address. I can connect to the manager from the monitor on the server machine, however, and I can connect from a virtual machine running Windows 8. The server machine is running Windows Server 2012 - I haven't been able to find where someone says if you can or can't use Server 2012.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Cannot Connect To Backburner Manager

Dec 17, 2012

I have been running PR5 for a while and everything has been stable. Today Smoke locked up and I had to force quit. After the force quit I have been unable to start Backburner. If I try to export I get this message:

Cannot connect to Backburner Manager. localhost:Backburner: Connection Refused.

If I open Smoke Prefs and try to toggle the Backburner Manager box I get the following:

Backburner Configuration: Unable to switch to localhost. Connection Refused

I have tried re-starting Backburner in the Service Monitor and each time it will turn green for 10-20 seconds and then turn red. I have also double checked that the Manager Hostname in Smoke Setup is set to localhost. I have checked my Network settings and only Airport is active, using DHCP and IPv6 is set to off. I have uninstalled PR5 and installed PR6 but still have had no luck.

Oddly if I type sudo nano/usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburner.xml into terminal I get "command not found". Similarly if I type ping hostname I get "cannot resolve hostname: Unknown Host"

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Quit Backburner Server And Manager

Nov 15, 2012

Every time I try to connect to adobe.com I always arrive on the Autodesk Tool with Backburner and WiretapCentral page.

I can used each browser I own it still the same. I try to flush cookies everywhere and it's the same.

It looks like the page adobe.com (YES) is redirect to a local page from Autodesk.(only [URL])

I try to do the same in an other user account on my mac, and it is the same.

So I look in the activity monitor to locate if an Autodesk thing is on. I isolate BackburnerManager and BackburnerServer, on. (Smoke is off)I tried to hard quit them but I couldn't

AutoDesk Smoke :: Backburner Web Manager Password Protected?

Jun 20, 2012

I am trying to enter use the URL... and I am prompted by an Password Protection.

1.) crosshair
2.) clear swipe areas
3.) Desktop Tools (like the Idea where you placed the "hacked" ones)
4.) beiing able to kill the tabs at the bottom and the apple bar at the top
5.) TRIM MODE like AVID (no ones really knows how handy this thing is when you have 16or more audio tracks at a feature film)
6.) Give us a snapshot of an image that we can grade a little bit better. (or show me where it is ;-))
7.) Easy subtitle option (STL Import or whatever - change all the 700 Titles in one go...
8.) The ability to conform to PARTIAL FileNames (would make relinking of fals imported D5 Material from Meda Composer wayyyy easier - since AVID keeps the names but adds a zillion of useless characters at the end)
8.a) straight forward force relink option.
9.) simple blur functions in text editor
10.) direct output for H.264 for blu ray that we can use directly in Encore (or do we have that?)

3ds Max :: Backburner Manager Doesn't Load Any 2009 Render Plugins

Jun 13, 2012

Planning on moving to 2013 from 2009, but I want 2009 working during the migrations period...

How to get 3DS MAX 2009 working with backburner 2013.

The Backburner manager dosn't seem to load any 2009 render plugins, I've upgraded the current node with the latest Service pack/hot fix for 2009, which adressed the an compability issue with backburner 2012. Isn't BB 2012 also using the new "render adapters"?

Tried everything... reinstalls, regedit checks, AppData cleans and so on...

Took a "while" just to get BB 2013 running at all, until I found a way to disable IPv6 via the helper service.

VideoStudio :: Unable To Find TV Channels / Manager

Jan 8, 2012

I am struggling to get VS ProX4 to scan for and correctly identify TV channels. I have just installed the program and in every other aspect, the program is working correctly.

Under the capture option, the program is identifying that I have a DVB digital tuner card. It’s actually a dual card with both digital and analogue signals. If I click on options > video properties, I have the option to scan - but every time I do so, the program freezes at 40% and stops working.

I can change the Country/Region but the properties box is greyed out - and therefore I am not able to check that for example, it is scanning for antenna and not cable.

I’m running windows 7 and on windows MC, I have correctly identified over 100 channels so I’m pretty certain the tuner card is working.

Lightroom :: File Manager Can't Find Duplicate

Nov 4, 2013

When I try to import a photo, Lightroom5 tells me that my photo is a duplicate. When I search for the duplicate from within lightroom, lightroom can't find it by filename. When I search for the duplicate using a file manager outside of lightroom, the file manager can't find the duplicate either. I don't believe there is a duplicate file that has been imported in Lightroom.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Why Can't Symbol Manager Find Symbols Library

May 24, 2012

Just installed X6. However, even though I installed Symbols and Objects from the content install, symbol manager does not see the symbols library on my hard drive. I guess it expects me to add a library, but where this symbols library is. Am I supposed to install the entire content package (I really don't want to clutter my hard drive with thousands of unwanted images) in order for symbol manager to be able to automatically find where the symbols are?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Find Dimension Style Manager In 2011?

Mar 8, 2011

I'm trying to find dimension style manager in Autocad 2011. The one where I can set text size, arrow size, style etc.

I used to be able to find it on the dimensions toolbar but now it's gone. I mostly use Inventor so I rarey go back to Autocad.

even finding how to change precision of the dimension was a pain - it used to be double click and change it in the property window. After a few minutes of trying things I managed to find it under right lick menu.

anyway - looking for dimension style manager so that I can create a new style and use it.

3ds Max :: Backburner For Renderfarm Use

Aug 2, 2011

I've finally set up my renderfarm. I have Maya 2012 suite (network install) and Max 2012 (dedicated install) on my workstation. I have a network licence manager computer for Maya 2012 and 4 renderfarm computers for backburner. (Thats how I presumed the setup should be)

The installs for the workstation and licence manager are working fine. I'm now trying to install backburner on the render farm computers but cannot install backburner without installing the whole 3dsmax suite.

My questions are is this setup correct?Do I have to install the full suite on the renderfarm computers to get backbuner to work?

3ds Max :: Backburner Not Using All Servers

Aug 13, 2012

This is what I am doing:

1. Main Computer> I run a Manager
2. Main Computer> I run a Server which connects to the Manager (no problems here).
3. Main Computer> I run a Monitor.
4. Second Computer> I run a Server, it connects with Manager on the Main computer no problems.
5. Main Computer> I click connect in the Manager and it connects showing both computers available and idle.
6. In 3dsmax 2013, I choose Network rendering and it pops out the window where I leave options as they are and click connect in the available server list it only shows the Main computer the other one is not there (although it is in the Monitor list). When I start rendering only one computer is used for the process.

Error receiving information: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (0x2746)I'm not finding very specific information regarding the message by searching Google.

3ds Max :: Backburner Texture Flickering

Aug 30, 2011

I'm trying to fix a backburner/3ds max problem that's been plaguing our render farms at work for some time now. I'll give an example of what happened with last nights renders.

I sent a scene off to get rendered, and the footage that comes back has a texture from one of the objects flickering between 2 different versions of the texture. In this case, a normal map on one of the workstations was rendering a slightly older version. I had edited the normal map earlier that day and it was rendering the version of said normal map in the state it was before I editted it. It's not limited to normal maps, just any texture file really. It's also not a GI flicker. We can't seem to pin down the reason why a server or workstation would use what appears to be an outdated texture.

We were hoping our recent transition to a domain based network would fix this but it hasn't. Texture files are packaged and sent with any backburner job, so even if the workstation is has a local, older version of the same texture file, it shouldn't matter.

The OS on the workstations is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, and the render servers run Windows 7 server. Rendering with vray 2.0, 3ds max 2012 x64.

3ds Max :: How To Share Load Via Backburner

Jul 12, 2011

My rig is a laptop with two GB of memory and an Intel celron 900 processor. I am modeling out a building and have begun adding light sources. This has put a huge drag on my laptop, and I can barely move the viewport. is there a way to share the load via backburner or something else with a much more powerful rig?

3ds Max :: Backburner Parallel Rendering

Apr 5, 2012

Ive gained access to a very powerful 32 core machine. Im using maya but im sure the same applies to 3dsmax, The initiation of each frame is actually single threaded, whereas the rendering itself is multithreaded.

Because of this the cores are not used until the actual rendering starts.Ive noticed that The initiation is taking about 2 mins, whereas as the render is almost instantly complete because it utilizes all 32 cores.

Is their a way to tell backburner to start initiating more then one frame at once on a single computer? Or can the initiation and the actually render be split up into separate jobs?

Any other distributed software packages that might accomplish this?even though the 2 mins isnt that much. The time savings would be significant over thousands of frames.

3ds Max :: Backburner Won't Work As A Service

Oct 8, 2012

I installed Backburner same I used to install the older net rendering system.

It will not render when installed as a service.

If I run the server as an application and I am logged in as administrator it works.

When I install it as a service it won't.

The Service is run using an account that is an administrator on the local machine and that account has admin privileges on all local machines. It is not a domain admin account though.

I get an error on the manager software that there are no valid servers to process the job. On the Monitor software all servers are listed as being absent.

This became a problem when Backburner came out in place of the older version of the network renderer. Approx 2009 version. Even though they both appear to be identical what used to work fine now doesn't.

3ds Max :: Objects Not Rendering Correctly Through Backburner

Nov 12, 2012

I've rendered a prepass for the IR and sent the job to BB like normal. The issue is with one piece of geometry. It's rendering it out of place when rendered through bb. If I render the frames directly in Max it renders correctly. This would be fine but I'm trying to render a 300+ frame batch to fix this area and I'd really like to be able to use the farm.

I tried copying the transform keys from the object, deleting it and replacing it with a fresh copy of the geometry made in a fresh/empty file and then pasting the keys back on. Then rendered out the prepass in Vray and I'm still getting the problem. It's obviously not with Vray because when I render directly through max it renders correctly. It's got to be BB but I'm completely stumped as to why or how to fix it. It's as if BB is getting incorrect geometry information from the max file.

The object renders through bb transformed in the x axis. In other words, the object is rendered about 3 feet off to the right of where it actually is.

3ds Max :: Backburner Doesn't Assign To All Servers

Oct 8, 2013

Too often, I have a job, where backburner assigns a bunch of frames to one server while all the others sit there idle as if to agonize me for all the money I spent and lack of time I have.
 
It happened this time when rendering with skipped frames selected.  It assigned 20 frames to one machine.  Reseting the tasks doesn't reaqsign them.

3ds Max :: Backburner Render Crash Not Restarting

Mar 22, 2011

I got a few render boxes, the older ones (mix of XP and win7) are generally fine.The new machines however fall over (crash with `unhandled exception`) while network rendering through backburner. This has the effect that 3dsMax `hangs` i.e waits for you to remote login and click `cclose program` (this may be a windows message though)This effectively removes the machine friom render slave mode as it hangs until max is manually closed.

Either i need to find out why they`re crashing and stop it or a way to make max crash and auto shut down/reboot max/backburner or even a machine restart would do.

(again, the error is ridiculously vague. windows 7 64bit is up to date as is max2011).i just checked and it`s windows thats crashed, asking to sened info to microsoft.
