Animation and the DR Spawner

n3v

Ok as an update, I have tried the following two variations still with no improvement

after precalculating the LC, this time I loaded the LC from file and left the irradiance map to 'incrementally add'
no precalculations - straight render

still the slaves drop off after the first frame, I get the impession that the machine is receiving the data but is waiting for something to activate it.

That sounds like a trouble that was happening with the older betas. Are you sure you have updated to the latest released beta? Yes, I tried all the frames, not just the first.

andybot I am using 1.60.23 jun 11 that is the latest right? is there any chance you could somehow share your settings so I can see whether I have set up the scene wrong as I wouldn't want to report a false bug.

Dkendig, I will follow Andy's advice first to make sure that its the software and not me and then if not I will submit.

thanks both

new candidate build doesnt appear to have fixed this. beginning to wonder whether its my setup or the software. Also now appears that patch render in animation no longer wants to work?

Here is my model if you want to take a look. Nothing fancy.

Hi Andy bot, thanks for sharing I will check out your model when I get a chance and let you know how it goes. My model is around 61mb and I didnt use any proxies to avoid them not being sent across the network.

asset collection should no longer be something to fear, it's automatic, and behind the scenes.

If you found the Fix please post it. I am having the same problem, it uses all cores / slaves for first images and after that only main cores.

Sephiro - nothing as yet, will let you know when I know more
