3ds Max :: Distributed Render Node Not Connecting?
May 14, 2012
I'm getting around to installing 2013 Max Design on my network of 5 computers.They are all Windows 7 64-bit, and all except one are working fine with Distributed Bucket Rendering.
The one that doesn't work has 2013 installed, and the Windows firewall shows unblocking for
Autodesk Max Design 2013 64-bit
Mental Ray satellite for Autodesk Max Design 2013 64-bit
Mental Ray satellite server for Autodesk Max Design 2013 64-bit
The problem computer shows up in the network from the host computer and can be pinged.
It's also not that I'm using too many processors, because I'm checking each one individually.
I have an underwater scene where the camera looks up towards the surface. On the surface I have a simple plane, with a shell modifier, with a noise map and refraction. This works perfectly on my PC, but when I send it to the node, it doesn't render the noise.
All other bitmaps, materials, etc render fine, it's just this noise map which doesn't.Also if I distribute render (vray 2), the noise map doesn't render on the node buckets.It's not a major issue, as I can use the PC to render in this instance, but would like to know what's happening.
Is there a way to link together several computers to process large documents more quickly? I have seen programs like Qmaster and Compressor for Final Cut users–is there anything like that for processing in Photoshop?
what is the rules to make ((distributed bucket rendering)) works ?I tried to render on my PC only, and tried on my PC and another one, it takes the same time?
I have been trying to set up another computer to render in vray by distributing render. I have followed various online tutorials showing exactly how to set it up but to no avail. When i render it says "could not connect to host 192.168.... no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it". I have 64 bit running on my main pc with 32bit on my slave, vray 2.0 and 3ds max design 2012 on both machines,both pc's can see each other, on the same workgroup and backburner works. I have vray set up properly and vray spawner started although no icon appears in the taskbar as some say it should.
I am using beam/column calculator in the frame generator in inventor 2010 suite.I have a beam being used for a flight of stairs it is positioned 40 deg above the 'floor' or my xy plane in my assembly.I want to place a distributed load acting as if there were several people stading on the stairs at one time so in the direction of the z axis of my assembly. The problem I am having is I try to change the angle of the distributed load but it only allows me to change the x and y components of the load.
a) change the angle of the laod in the Z directions
or
b) change the cordinates in beam itself so the x axis is along the length of the beam instead of the z axis.
I have tried adding a UCS to the beam part but it still wants to choose the length of the beam as the z axis.
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.
I have created a 3d model of a football stadium, but when I try to render it, it comes up with this message and it cannot render the scene. I've tried everything I can to fix it, but nothing has worked.
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.
I can´t believe it. Save 50% Rendertime. Fix the Render Elements Bug with Render Optimizer V3! deactivate "contrast all Buffers" with RO V3, and you have the same speed as Vray Renderelements.2014 can comming! URL....
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.
Yesterday Ae was working perfectly. Today, Ae will not render compositions in the render queue or in AME? If I try to render from Ae,I get this error message:
and I can fin nothing about this error anywhere on line.
Is it possible to render an object to fit exactly into the render window. i.e If I have a plane object segmented into 512 * 512 segments and I randomly colour each polygon. If I render at 512*512 pixels, I would like to fit the plane exactly so that the rendered image shows 1 pixel per polygon.
Whilst you can select region to render its not that exact and is based on the visual window. can it be utilized with render blowup.
Basically I want to render a square object exactly ( no borders) at a large resolution, hence the need for render blowup so that I can render into smaller tiles.
I recently downloaded some sketch brushes off a website but when applying them to a shape like a circle, the brush doesnt follow all the way through. Like on the right side its got that separation.
I need to connect a rapport with others(print on fabric for textile industry). It looks like a mosaic, however the pieces doesn't connect side by side at the same height, but side by side sometimes higher, sometimes lower.
The thing is: when I try put then together the limit of the layers create an edge that prevents connection. I'm sending some images to try to make this clear: 1- all layers together with the thin line between the 2- closer to junction 3- closer 3200% to see what really happens.
i missed the july 15th deadline, my welcome screen is not connecting and i dont know how to tell what my storage is, what the status is? although, my pictures show up on photoshop.com account, how to fix the welcome screen.
i have 1 camcorder in firewire 1394 MiniDV to record in my computer. The drivers is ok, the camcorder function well on other pc with corel x4 or pinnacle, but on the pc with x5 ultimate, when i want to make capture i have message error "not connecting or no drivers..."
I have an older water line project that was connected to the file water.mdb. I am trying to connect the dwg to the mdb and am getting an error. I have enclosed a screen shot of the error. FYI i am using 2011 Civil 3d, and the dwg was originally done in Autocad Map. (2005 I think) .
Why have i got 0 for all my z values I have followed all the steps in the Guide and still have 0, my x and y axis are ok. Im wondering if it may be something to do with the Digimap and OS downloads.
Another thing, How do i conect all my drawing downloads i have together ive tried the coordinates system and just dont get anywhere.
Downloaded from Digimap i have 20 different drawings of this section but i cant connect them together. I have a catalogue system which is just like a coordinates section with these 20 places. All my drawings are fine they open in autocad fine just need to put them together to link them.
I have two sets of identical spur gears. I want them to be lined and connected big-small-big-small gear. But how to connect this two sets together. I can create motion and axes constrains but it still lacks teath meshing. I found some tutorial how to create differential drive, it works with downloaded gears but not with one that I create (it says to set imates to visible which does nothing and alt-move mesh imates toghether which also do not work). I work with 2009 and 2011 versions.
When joining 2 pipes (cylinders)how do you get a radius/fillet where the 2 pipes intersect? How can you control the radius size? Attached is a 2010 version and 2013 version MAX file
I am trying to make a series of curved walls with windows in them as I place the windows they do not place into the walls because of breaks in the wall line between them. I have atempted to make a line out of the wall and convert the line into one single wall segment but it always breaks back down to the geometry of arc+ arc+circle exctra is there a way to make the wall one single wall or to make a series of arcs into a single polyline so I can convert it into a wall face?
Im having a little issue with connecting lines and circles but not sure how to shorten the question to do a search on here. I have 2 concentric circles (the two circles form the walls of a round tower wall) which have 2 lines (representing a wall) passing through them. I want to join the circles from the circumference to the lines, but each time I try to do it the line seems to default to the center of the circles and to the endpoints of the lines which is not what I want. The eventual aim will be to remove a section of the circles and the lines where the new line connects to them to form an opening in the walls.
Ive tried <shift>right click and selecting tangent on the circles but I cant figure out what to do on the lines and it constantly defaults to the end of the line not to where I want to intersect the lines.
I have a curved path. I want to add on to this path with another curve. I know how to make another curved line, but I don't know how to make it to where the final product (when both the paths are connected) nice and smooth. Currently I'm having to try and do it by eye (I'm trying to make it as smooth as possible by looking at the first path and making the curve on the second path as close as I can).
