hi there,
we just set up some older machines to help out in the render farm and installed max 2014 on it. The thing is, we also have some max 2013 Jobs in the Queue but we don’t have the time install also max 2013 on all the machines.
Is there an Option to tell Deadline to use the latest Version of max when the other is not installed?
You could configure the 3dsmax 2013 render executable path in the plugin configuration to list the 2013 paths first, and the 2014 paths second (or vice versa). Deadline simply chooses the first path that exists on the system. For example:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2013\3dsmax.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2013\3dsmax.exe
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\3dsmax.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\3dsmax.exehm, yes i did that already but he still refuses to render. At least i think this is a Version problem.
Error in RenderTasks: RenderTask: Unexpected exception (Failed to open the max renderer.
Network log file does not exist: C:\Users\render\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2013 - 64bit\ENU\Network\Max.log)

Based on the log, it looks like it’s not that simple, because Deadline does some setup assuming it’s rendering with 3dsmax 2013. Maybe it’s best to just blacklist those old machines for the remaining 2013 jobs?
ok, we’ll do it that way, thanks!
