DR Spawner issue
-
Hey all,
Having trouble getting the DR Spawner to work on my network at work. So far i've only installed the spawner on one slave and im getting nothing, i have a few error messages and ready for render message. Im not getting any buckets on my main machine. My version is the latest 1.49.1, i've checked firewalls and everything seems ok. Attached is a screenshot of the spawner. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

Hi, you try to make a DR render? check with a DOS ping if you are connect with the slave.
I have the same errors, but still can make DR.

is it possible..?I don't think so, the same IP address make conflicts on your LAN.

I have had those error messages and the DR has worked. As long as it says waiting for jobs, I think it will work. If the machines you are sending the render to are slow and the file is large, then they will take a while before they start rendering buckets.
My understanding is that the DR spawner is still rather buggy. I gave up on it because it would take forever to start, buckets would be rendering the wrong view, or darker, just weird stuff. It worked sometimes and then others it just did weird stuff. I got a workstation with an i7 multithreaded processor and my render times were cut in half. Thats my best advice for now.
