Hi All,
Am having issues with maya 2011 with backburner 2008.1.3 (uninstalled 2011 as it gave lots of errors while rendering with 3ds max and maya)
The render slave nodes picks the jobs , while one of the slaves renders the job , the other starts to throw errors,, but if we hit the refresh tab in Backburner - monitor, The slaves starts to render a few frames and then throws the errors again.
While Maya 2011 throws errors the, same backburner renders very well with 3ds max 2011, 3ds max 2010 and maya 2010- on the same machine setup that i have got.
Please find below the render setup :
1) I have 3 workstations , with mix win os platform... 2 works with win 7, while 1 works on win xp.
2) The master machine which runs on win 7- i started the backburner - manager
3) The other 2 machines i ran the backburner - server. The server successfully connects to the manager.
4) I have created a shared folder, which can be accessed across the network, its got the read/write permissions.
5) I created a simple maya test file, which has a few poly primitives, with blinn shader and the renderer i used is maya software.
6) The maya file is saved on network path , i.e \\machinename\shared folder\file name
7) The output path in maya.. i.e - File - Project- New, is also setup using network path.
In render - create backburner job-- the manager name is set to the master machine name -- and then click -- Submit Job
9) In the backburner - monitor- i can see the slaves have picked the job, but as soon as the rendering starts, one of the nodes throws errors while the other starts to render fine, if i click on the refresh tab in the backburner- monitor, it starts to render a few frames before throwing more errors. I have tested the files few times, either one of the nodes (xp or win 7), starts to throw the errors.
10) The errors usually are unc path errors , while i have given all network paths and the same folders and machines renders files on 3ds max 2010 and 2011...
I also get errors like ,, "job cannot be added to work group",, Maya exited with status 209 / 210' , sometimes its "maya exited with status 1" -- unable to figure why these erros occur..
I have got a deadline and have not been able to crack this issue...
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks..
