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.

I have been using Max 2012 with Backburner 2013 without a problem for the last 8 months. I have just finished a project so I thought I would test the same project that works fine on 2012 on 2013.
On the render server everything works fine. On all the render nodes I get the following error
Application Load error 3ds max adapter error 3ds max process no response
3ds max 2013 is installed on all the render nodes.
I'm really getting tired of problems going from 1 version to the next. how much time goes into testing new versions each year. I would gladly have less upgrades but upgrades that work

I am working with the animation sequence where I have a video file linked to the object (camera moving through the room showing a TV screen on the wall with a move playing on the TV screen, the movie is linked .mov file). When I make the rendering using the BB everything works fine if I just use one server (the one where I have the main max installation, where all the maps and linked items are located). As soon as I try to use other BB servers in the network I get the error message referring to the linked .mov file. I have the Include Maps ticked in the Network Job Assignment window and if I change .mov video file to static image like. jpg the network rendering works without problems. How and where the .mov video should be set to get the BB network rendering to work correctly in distributed rendering.

Video Post to Backburner network render hangs on next frame..I use Max’s Video Post to setup my render sequences to submit them to backburner. There are a couple issues with video post but not as bad as the one I have now. Each time I setup a render and submit it to backburner the first frame assigned to each system will render fine but then the servers get hung-up “waiting for frame” and consume ALL of the available RAM. Of course if I don’t do network render, the video post runs without a hitch. That of course defeats the purpose of having a render farm that video post SHOULD be able to use. And also, if I go through the ‘render’ dialog box, and do network rendering, I can get each series of frames done as well but it’s not as clean and orderly as with video post.
Oddly enough, in Max 2009, all of this worked just fine. Ever since they (autodesk) fixed (broke) backburner in 2012 video post has never been the same. Since I am a lowly low budget animator, video post was a bonus in 2009 for having everything in one bundle for mixing and matching multiple views and inputs with overlays for production. It was great! One could set it and forget it overnight and in the AM all that was left was compile the images to sequenced avi. Alas, that has been somewhat limited now in that you can only render the views that are active, so max of 4 views or cameras (if this has changed for others pls let me know). Annoying especially if you forget to have a single camera active and set the render and it then hangs on it… no visual error saying such and such is missing just dumb blank screen (sometimes).
Another oddity, after saving a video post layout, if I open that file on a secondary system for edits, the video post will have blanks for file outputs. I’ll then have to re-point the outputs to be able to use the limited video post functionality. A pain and can deal with it but still, the outputs are all on networked drives (all mapped to same drive letter etc) and ever if I direct it straight through the network they go blank; i.e. \serversharediretoryoutputs
I’m attaching a simple ‘teapot race’ max file that exhibits the same problem of the video post on render fails just in case it’s a file setup issue.Also find below the log file outputs of a system during the aforementioned hanging render sequence. , I was running the debug and the log shows max hanging on the ‘waiting for frame’ then eventually dumps the job, reloads, does 1 frame, then hangs again for 10-15mins.

The issue that I am seeing is that BB 2012 is slower at rendering than BB 2008.
1. The server hardware is the same with no other changes other than upgrading to BB 2012. I uninstalled 2008.1 prior to the upgrade.

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.

It's an element contained in a .vsp. Right now I'm trying to "connect" & render 1 video file + 4 .vsp (inttertitle card.mp4, segment1.vsp, ... segment4.vsp). Each contains segments that run continuously and I need to combine into just one video file (mp4 HD format). But every time the render reaches that file (above) (17% of the total render), it crashes. There's nothing else on that timeline except that mp4 file and a wav file. I don't understand why it's happening. I have done it successfully before in Youtube HD format.
Smart Proxy is enabled, but I don't see how that's relevant to rendering. I have tried re-converting the video file into versions: one has .mpeg4 codec, the other has .H264. I also downloaded & installed VSPX4 SP1, updated my codecs, drivers, downgraded Quick time. But the result is still the same as far as rendering the whole project goes: crashing at 17%.
There were enough RAM & CPU when I did the rendering so I don't think this is a hardware issue. I also tried disabling Smart Render just to see if it will react positively.
There came a time also when the render passed 17%, but it crashed when it reached 94%. Interestingly, when I rendered segment1.vsp only (to mp4 HD), it also passed 17%, but then it failed to finish also. Right now, I'm going to re-convert the file to a different format to see if the whole crash is related to mp4 (I have rendered many mp4s just last week and they were successful).
So I'm curious, is there a limit to how many "connected" .vsp files one can render successfully? And is there a certain mp4 type that VSP can't handle properly?

i bought VSP4x about a month ago to try to get back into video editing (was originally using Media Studio on my XP machine but it isn't supported on Win7) and was working fine with video acquired through the method capture -> edit - > share. but once i started bringing in videos from other sources it started going bonkers. one source i get my video from is a screen capturing program called Bandicam. it creates standard Mpeg encoded VBR AVIs. i would editing my footage cut, and snip where needed. add some text and then render. as soon as it hits 1% of rendering it will come back with a unspecified error and give me a dump files to send to tech support. i then proceed to find tech support but was unable to find any sorts on the website that wasnt going to cost me $20 just to send an email. i searched everywhere i can after that for a solution. couldnt find one.

I'm having a really strange problem with Photoshop CS4 on my Laptop. If my Laptop was recently booted and I start Photoshop everything is fine. If I'm working for a while, suddenly nothing works anymore. Or maybe I should say: It works but only if I'm trying it like 10 times.For example I'm trying to open a file. I click "Open.::" choose the file, double click it, nothing happens. Repeating that won't help too. Only if I'm repeating it again and again it will open sometime. (There is no exact count that I need to reach repeating that steps. Sometimes it works after 3 times, sometimes much later).That happens with everything in Photoshop. If a file is still open and im using the brush tool to create a line or something, I click somewhere in the image, keeping my mousebutton pressed, move the mouse to somewhere else (to create a line/whatever), release the mousebutton and the line disappears. Nothing happened. Now if I'm repeating that again and again, there will be a line anytime.Now nothing helps to get that problem away but restarting my PC. After booting it again everything works fine again, but restarting it again and again isn't really a solution to my problem.The specs of my laptop:CPU: Intel Pentium M 1,86GhzRam: 1 GB RamGraphics: Mobile Intel 915GMDon't know about the rest, but that shouldn't matter anyways.The only thing I could think of is that my Laptops components are too bad, but theyre pretty much exactly matching the requirements.

I just downloaded the videostudio X6 trial version. For some reasons, some sequences from mpg clips I added to my project seems to be repeating itself for no reason. The bug occurs within a unique sequence and might change the "restart" position while the timeline cursor.
Ex: Original video = Cow cross the road, a car hit the cow then the car explode and finaly a generic
After importing the original video = Cow cross the road, a car hit the cow then the car explode, then the car hit the cow a second time
If I move the cursor right to left a couple of time, it might end up missing the first part of the clip where the cow is suppose to cross the road (replaced by a second car exploding)
It's a single clip and the final display is changing even if I don'T touch anything. I use to be a Ulead video studio user and I never had such problem.

For some odd reason Autocad will not maintain my workspace customizations. For example I typically can customize my workspace by toggling which toolbars are shown and where they are placed. Then I can close autocad and when I start it again all the customizations are present. Now when I start autocad it loads the default workspace. I should have to customize my workspace every time I start autocad. I also shouldn't have to create any custom workspace profile or anything like that. AutoCad used to simply save any GUI customizations made automatically. I need it to get back to that.

We use tags on lines labeled L1, L2 etc... for roads and pipelines (for legal/right of way purposes). We may have multiple lines to describe (differernt section/land owner) and need to start back at L1.
Is there a way to automatically start back at L1 rather than it starting at a higher number and having to reset the number one at a time? Get's quite tedious when you have multiple lines needing number with say lay 20-30 segments.

I'm trying to batch convert groups of photos to b&w. The action i want to perform involves 3 steps: 1)channel mix to b&w, 2)stop to do curves, dodge/burn,etc. and 3)finish b&w convert w/ hue/saturation. If i insert a Stop then PS does allow me to finish the action but it stops the batch. I need to do the Hue/Sat after adjustments b/c otherwise i get a color shift. If this makes sense,

I keep getting a dialogue box that says "Revit was unable to render the view due to an unknown error during render calculations. The rendering operation will be canceled." The only option is to click "close" and when i do so, it continues to render but only the sky and grass. My buildings are not present.

The same scene, same settings, produce 2 very different outputs in max 2011 and 2012, render to texture for normals is currently useless in max 2012.
The blue one is a correct tangent normal map created from a sphere in max 2011, the colored one is the the one created inside max 2012 from the same objects and settings, and the last is another sample of normals generated in max 2012.

Each time I want to have batch render with 4 camera views. I thought it would provide me with elements along with it. But it just brings me only one file as I set .png.
I know it works with State Set by changing camera view. But Batch render should work too.

Okey, so I want to render a normal map directly from render production. Pretty much like the Viewport Filter "Normal map" in Mudbox. Can this be done? And I also want to make clear that I do not want to use "render to texture". I dont want to do any projection against an other mesh, I want to do it directly to the camera.

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?

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.

I have a small render farm of about 6 computers running Backburner for a Max Design 2013 animation. After working fine last week, one particular computer is not able to run Server, although all the rest of the computers seem to work fine. On Server startup, the error message is:
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.

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.

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?
