I've been using backburner for a number of years and never run across this message before. What does it mean and why does it happen when it says.
Skip assignment to server xxxxxxxxxxx
The manager then won't assign a frame to that server.
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 have a render node whose server appears in the backburner manager. However in the Network Job Assignment dialog the server does not appear. The server does show up in the Monitor.
All boxes have latest 3dsmax 2012 as well as latest version of Back-burner 2012
I cannot start "Backburner Server." I restarted my Mac a couple time but never can change the red light.

I have big problem with backburner 2012 using my new HP laptop (win7 64). The server and manager don't start and I get an error trying to deinstall BB. On my other workstations the BB software run just fine. What should I do?

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
we have a dilema regarding Backburner 2013:
I work at a studio and we want to buy new servers and we want to purchase Windows Server 2012 wich, from what we read is based on Windows 8 architecture. We read BackBurner 2013's specification and Windows 8 didn't appear as supported.
Our question is: If we buy Windows Server 2012 Enterprise for the render farm will it work with Backburner 2013 without any problem?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a mass print script and I have it save then close the drawing after it's done printing each one. The problem is the script updates the mass properties and some times drawings just update when opened. So when it saves different "warnings" can pop up, which pause the script until the pop up is taken care of. The warnings are typically for saving other files like the ipt linked to a drawing or if the drawing was saved in an old version. Is there a way to just accept those while running a script so it does puase?
How I save and then close the drawing.
ThisApplication.ActiveEditDocument.Save
ThisApplication.ActiveEditDocument.Close True
So, I got a bad drawing from a vendor today, which locked up autocad. Now, each time I start, it tries to "auto recover" and gets hung again.
Is there a way to start Autocad in "safe mode" or something similar?
When I make an adjustment to a .jpg file that I created earlier, from my raw file using export, and I then try to export this image, I get a problem.
When I export my new image I no longer have the option to overwrite the image I'm working on. Only skip and rename.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I created a parts list this morning the list started with item 2 and skipped item 8 as shown below.
why would it do that? I know I can renumber the list, but then when I expand the subassembly to show the subassembly parts, they stay numbered 10.1, 10.2 ect. even though the subassembly has become item 8 with the renumbering. If I expand the subassembly before renumbering, I loose the indented numbering format and simply get numbers 1 to 18. True I could manually renumber all the components, but what would be the reason the parts don't come into the parts list numbered sequentially to start with?
I'm trying to automate my drawing creation but i've run into a problem. In my code it takes the document collection object and iterates through and creates a drawing for each part and assembly the problem is i need it to skip the files from my library and content center since they dont require drawings. Here is the
Public Sub CreateDrawing()
'get documents collection object
Dim invDocs As Documents
Set invDocs = ThisApplication.Documents
'iterate through documents in collection

I like to use inherit properties a lot when hatching. Now it also grabs the layer and I prefer that to be bylayer always, like before when this (imo useless) option was not implemented. Does any trick to get rid of this feature I don't want.

Is there a way of forcing Illustrator to draw a line between those figures, as it's just leaving a gap in the graph at the moment.
I already have all my settings the way that I want the users to see them when starting AutoCAD 2010 for the first time. But when you first start up AutoCAD 2010 it brings up the Initial Setup screen. I was wondering if there was a way to get that not to display but just open AutoCAD right away.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Backburner 2013 the newest version just downloaded

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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried rendering a sphere with an multipage pdf earthmap over backburner. The map is only loaded and rendered in lowres. Rendering on each workstation locally works fine and highres and as expected.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve 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.
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.
where backburner saves the files that are in the render queue. I would like to extract some of these files to reuse as scene states.
