Cinema4d vray deadline region render Error: RenderTask: Unexpected exception

[gutster]

Hi there,

We are desperately trying to render a 30k image from Cinema 4D (with V-Ray) using Deadline. Because it’s such a high-resolution image, we have to render it in regions. However, we keep encountering the same error. It doesn’t matter whether we manage the region rendering process through the advanced options in the Deadline submitter or if we set the region inside the C4D render settings.

Any idea what we might be doing wrong?

[anthonygelatka]

would it be safer rendering the image as tiles? or exporting to .vrscene and rendering/tiling that?

[zollska]

Correct me if i’m wrong but to me it looks like the insydium plugin in the commandline version doesn’t match the submitted files version of the insydium plugin. Unfortunately you have to manually update the plugins in the appdata commandline folder after every update,

[anthonygelatka]

this isn’t the issue, a lot of the c4d plugins just dump all the versions into the plugin folder, you can manually delete them but they don’t cause an issue.

I think the issue is 30K image and possibly the textures required for that size image being loaded into memory

EDIT, sorry, I was thinking about the version of Xp for C4D, you could be onto something with the Xp version itself given it allows the user to install locally (C:/Users/admin/AppData/Roaming/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D 2024_A5DBFF93_x/plugins/INSYDIUM/) and bypass admin requirements. Good call

[gutster]

hey guys, thanks for the replies!
I’ll look into the plugin versions for sure! But I should encounter the same problem with the 10k image than correct? because this one goes renders without an error.

@anthonygelatka could you explain a bit more what you mean with tiles? and the .vrscene?
I searched through google but I only found something about a ‘tiled Camera’ from 12 years ago. And only how to create a .vrscene but not what to do with it then:D

thanks in advance!

[anthonygelatka]

ah, it looks like Tiles in C4D is region rendering

How much RAM is in the machine and do you monitor the usage? have you ever rendered out a 30K image? can you render a sphere at that size? is this cpu or gpu?

Deadline doesn’t have a V-Ray export option

If I try with single object at 30K it just crashes in Cinema4D

Exporting V-Ray Scene Files - V-Ray for Cinema 4D - Global Site

It’s probably worth sending chaos support an email as they’re really helpful and probably have tips for doing such large images.

I’d have a plan B to render 1/4 size and scale it up, I’ve never tried such a large image before!

I’ll see if I can export and render this simple test, the vray standalone has tiling option, but will remove c4d from the equation.

[anthonygelatka]

30K fails in standalone but 10k works, I think this is down to my memory limit though

If I then try to tile the .vrscene 3x3 in Deadline submission it starts parsing the scene and then crashes the Monitor

same happens with 2x1, crash, maybe an issue with Deadline Monitor

.vrscene is 16.1kb!

vbig_.zip (5.3 KB)

There’s a page for Maya/Max on large scene optimization

Rendering Very Large Images - V-Ray for 3ds Max - Global Site

I switched to bucket render, save as .vrimg and resubmit the scene and it’s now rendering, took over an hour to make a 30k almost 3Gb vrimg of a basic cube! Deadline Crashes when I try to run it via vrimg to exr

[gutster]

Hey, thank you for testing and explaining those options!
We did quite a few more tests on out side too and I just wanted to give a quick update what ended up working for us.

For reference our Render Server is running with 6 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and got 256 gig Ram
The Pictures we needed to render had a lot of different Light Sources, Reflections, and Depth of Field, so they were quite heavy to render.

What ended up working for the 35k image:
First Option:

• Deadline Region render from the Advanced Options setting for RGB (14x14 regions)

• it wouldn’t safe with the Multipasses included

• For the masks we reshaded the image flat with the vray light material, and rendered another RGB image. (which basically is a cryptomatte then, but without it being saved as a Multipass image)

• this leaves the problem of not having a spec or reflection pass in the end

• the compositing process is tedious

• it rendered ages

Second Option: (which we ended up going for)

• rendering a 10k image with all Multipasses + comping

• using Gigapixels Ai to upscale the image to our needed resolution

• this ended up being the most time and cost efficient way for us

• the image quality was a tiny bit worse than the 35k rendered image, but the difference was so minimal that it didn’t make any sense to render the actual 35k image

hope this helps somebody:)
