2 slaves can't render a tiled job, others can

nixx · March 28, 2014, 1:12pm

I seem to have an issues with deadline 6.1 (and 6.2b) where I submit a single 3dsMax frame with 10x10 tiles.
8 out of 10 nodes render the job perfectly, the other 2 (always the same 2) can’t seem to open the max file even though they do render regular Max jobs.

How can this be?

see below the error :

Hello,

I am going to start by pointing out this line:

Missing dll: fusionworks.dlr - FusionWorks Renderer

As a possible issue. Can you verify if the render node has that plugin installed? Thanks.

Cheers,

Dwight

Hi,
This doesn’t look ideal: “2014/03/28 14:05:09 WRN: [01944] [03960] Missing dll: fusionworks.dlr - FusionWorks Renderer”

Can you make sure all your machines are running exactly the same version of 3dsMax? I think the slave version might be struggling to open the sp2 based max file, even though it’s a newer version of the software! It would be good to at least eliminate this as being the issue. Are your other machines all running SP3, which render ok?

nixx · March 28, 2014, 10:02pm

ok, I’ll look at this tomorrow, and sync the versions, actually i’m pretty sure it’s only my workstation that hasn’t been upgraded yet and all slaves had SP3 (all installed at the same time)
The thing is, it does render non-tiled images without any problems, but none the less I’ll make sure.

Cool. The other thing to check is the missing DLL (“fusionworks.dlr”), which is for FumeFX. Might be worth double-checking there is no issue, by going to one of your render nodes, opening up 3dsMax in 30-day eval mode and seeing what happens when you try and open the Max scene file manually on this machine? Does it pop-up any errors?
