Hey gang,
I started getting some really long render times on a simple object turnaround. All machine are pretty identical so I’m somewhat confused. A few machine take 9 min to render when other take only 6 seconds? It seems that it’s not in the rendering, it seems to either take a while to start up, or take a while to save the frame? How would I go about diagnosing this? Is there anything in the logs to say how long each step took to do?
Fred
Hey Fred,
Check the slave log on one of the machines that took a while to render. You can find the slave log folder from the slave app by selecting Help -> Explore Log Folder. Sort by Last Modified and find the slave log that corresponds to the time the frame was rendered. Open the log and try to find where the slave picked up that frame. You’ll see that every line in the log is prefixed with the Date/Time it was logged, so you can use that while you walk through the render output for the frame to see what it was doing at each state (more or less).
If you’re not sure what state the render is in from the log, just post the relevant part of the log here and we’ll walk through it.
Cheers,
- Ryan
Hey there,
Out of the blue our render times for 3ds max 2009 jobs have gone from 1:11 seconds to 10 minutes. The slaves seem to hang on ‘Prepairing Objects’.
These are exactly the same scenes with no changes made to output etc.

The “preparing objects” output is coming directly from Max, so it would seem that Max is stalling there for some reason. I should note that Deadline doesn’t control this part of the render (it’s just waiting for Max to “return” from what it’s doing that this point).
Did anything else change on the render nodes? Windows update, Max update, new plugins, etc?
Cheers,
