Hi,
It seems that local rendering is not working with V-Ray RT. Though it’s enabled, the frames are saved to the network drive directly.
It’s saving to mapped drive. Can it have something to do with that ?
Also other explanation is that most of the V-Ray options accessible through the MaxScript have different a bit structure in RT compared to Adv and Deadline is not changing saving paths correctly. While in Adv all properties are right under renderers.production , in RT they are moved to renderers.production.V_Ray_Settings.
Best,
Tomasz
Thanks for the feedback. Have logged for further investigation. Could you provide a full 3dsmax log report so we can see what is happening here? Thanks.
Sure,

This is what I get. Local rendering option is switched on - dabarti.com/screens/s833a801 … 9a4956.png .

Sorry, my bad. Could I see the log report from the first frame that a particular Slave picks up for this job, as it will contain considerably more info for me to go on here. Also, to confirm, did you submit via SMTD or the Deadline Monitor?
I’m submitting through SMTD.
I’ve attached the log.

FYI. OK, this is now fixed and should hopefully be available in the next build of D9.0. Local Rendering was not supported in V-Ray RT and was semi-broken in V-Ray “normal” rendering (ie: not region or tile rendering) when VFB enabled and RAW/split was being used. Thanks for the feedback.
