RPManager Forum

Hey guys, We have a small issue with single frame jobs starting on multiple servers. Only occurs when submitting through RPMan. And it is not consistent. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. Only solution is to limit backburner to one server pr. job - which is a bit counter prod...

Did anyone find a solution? I'm here almost a year later, having the same issue on MAX2017. It affects our entire renderfarm, and limiting Backburner to 1 job pr. submission, is not an option, as we do animations as well.

Cheers,

aaaand back. Sorry, but the updated version doesn't change anything.

If you need any additional info, or wan't me t...

There's also 15 of us potentially being the current queue manager - does the submitee have to gain control of the queue in order for the unsuspension to wor...

Grant please disregard my last reply. I fucked something up. Just tested again and it does work on the one job I just tested. I also clearly saw the job enter as suspended, then ask for permission to the queue, and activate itself. - in other words: It werkz!! Good job, and thanks :) Should somethin...

Hey Grant, There seems to be an issue in RPM v.6.67, when trying to save Element sets to a file, and loading it again on either the same or another pass. The problem may be related to scenes created with previous versions of RPM, which is the case for most of our template files. I've tried stripping...

Hey Grant,

Any thoughts on this one?

allright - I've tested the template scene, and It appears that the only elements that aren't affected, are VraySpecular and VrayLightSelect. VrayExtraTex, MultiMatteElement, VrayReflection all crap out. 4 VrayLightselects and a VraySpecular will export/import just fine. Those however, may have been ...
