Can you try opening this Max scene file on one of your rendernodes or another machine? It looks like either the Max scene file is corrupt or your rendernodes are all missing a plugin or configuration to enable them to open your scene file successfully.

Thanks Mike,
I have got it working but the rendering on the salve is happening on only one thread where as all the remaining 15 threads are empty.

4

What renderer are you using? Scanline renderer is NOT multithreaded. Try using Mental Ray or another 3rd party renderer.
Ensure "3dsMax UI -> Customize -> Preferences -> Rendering be sure “Multi-threading” checkbox is enabled AND Deadline Slave is configured to use ALL CPU’s:

Hi Mike,
Iam using Vray renderer.
All the option you said is enabled but still after Render Thread 0 rest of the Render Threads like Render Thread 1, Render Thread 2 and so on doesnt have any log and the render is very slowwwwwww

Looking at your provided log, I’m not seeing that any rendering has actually taken place yet. In terms of the Deadline “render thread” logs, then you will ONLY see “render thread 0” populated with information as you are only running one instance of 3dsMax on one thread, which is the recommended thing to do with this application as it multithreads nicely at the rendering stage.

However, your logs show a number of issues prior to actually rendering. Note, not all stages of the rendering process as well as the loading of the 3dsmax scene file or general configuration of 3dsMax is multithreaded. This is a limitation in the 3dsMax application.

Looking at your log, I see the following issues:

  1. You are missing a 3rd party plugin, which may well be causing other issues:
  1. The slave running this job is using an incompatible version of 3dsMax:

Please can you upgrade Max 2014 to the latest service pack on all your machines you wish to render on.

  1. I would recommend using our “3dsmax” plugin and not our “3dsCmd” plugin as it will provide more information before, during and after rendering.

  2. On the slaves rendering this job, please can you confirm the CPU affinity setting in Deadline for each of these machines, the number of cores in your Task Manager as shown in Windows 7, and please check the “3dsmax.ini” file locally on each rendernode. Does it have multithreading enabled? When you open the “3dsmax.ini” file, it should have the following value set correctly:

[Renderer] MultiThread=1

  1. It’s possible, one or more of your machines: “3dsmax.ini” file has become corrupt (a known issue in Max 2014 and earlier). See here for instructions on how to resolve:
    knowledge.autodesk.com/support/ … ile-s.html

knowledge.autodesk.com/support/ … A-htm.html

I would resolve all of the above, try again using the 3dsMax log and if it’s still not working please find screen-grabs of all these settings, CPU affinity, task manager and job log report and we can take it from there. However, this stuff by default, should just work. Perhaps, this old version of 3dsMax 2014, is also broken without the latest service pack being installed.
