I have Krakatoa now - and want use deadline to create my particle partitions.
I have one floating licence set up on my laptop.
I have install deadline and Krakatoa on my laptop and workstation.
Deadline is now running in free mode.
I can render the particles on my workstation with out any problems
I try and send it to deadline, it goes through successful, but just crashes when starting to render.
Error it’s seams is cant find a licence LMTOOLS not running.
I| was able to use Krakatoa with out this issue.
Is there a tutorial on how to set this up, the info on the site is very long winded and
confusing.
The short answer is - you cannot.
You have one floating krakatoa-max Workstation license, but no Render licenses.
The Krakatoa-Render licenses are used when running on Backburner or Deadline in “network render” mode (without the GUI).
We sell the Standard Bundle with one Workstation plus two Render licenses, and the Pro Bundle with two Workstation and 10 Render licenses. We also sell Render licenses separately, and they will be used by the upcoming Krakatoa SR stand-alone renderer which also has no UI.
So in your case, there is nothing you can set up to use your Workstation license on Deadline.
You can only partition on your Workstation using the “Generate Partition Range Locally” / “Generate All Partitions Locally” buttons. To do two or more partitions in parallel, you can manually open 3ds Max multiple times on the same or multiple computers and launch the same scene to save different ranges of the same partition sequence. This obviously requires manual setup and does not work with Deadline.
We will explore the possibility to render on Deadline in Workstation mode using your Workstation license in the upcoming Krakatoa v2.1 update, but there are some issues with parts of the Krakatoa UI interfering with Deadline, so I cannot promise that it can be done.
LMTOOLS not running.
