Deadline
1

Hi
I just got the demo of Deadline,
repository is installedd and running, so is my slave
I submit a job in max, no problem,
it shows up in job monitor,
but it doesnot render,
it just keeps on trying but nothing happens,

i know this is pretty vague, but, can you help?

thanks
ian

Start sending some error logs so we can see WHY it is not rendering.
Select the job and look for the Logs in the right-click menu.
