I'm trying to save out exr format rendering max 8 files with vray through deadline and keep getting the following error:
Error in bm->OpenOutput(): error code 12
any idea what causes this. I tried a few different exr options but it always gave the same error.

In the 3ds Max SDK, this error code is called BMMRES_INTERNALERROR. Not much can be gleaned from that, though. Does the error say anything more than what you’ve copied?

Mark, Here is the full error as reported by deadline when it fails on saving the exr format. I tried several different compression types for the exr but that made no difference. I can save out hdr format but I'd like to have the exr's alpha channel

It seems that there may be problems with the output of a few file formats from Max and from the SDK quote Mark’s posted it sounds like an internal error that we can’t properly interpret. Below is the contents of the “openexr.ini” we use on our network. We choose to set this file to read only as it seem to be the only settings that work consistently. If you would, please try this and let us know if you get the same error.

so where should I look for this file. I can't seem to find it in the deadline directory structure.

That file goes here:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3dsMax8\plugcfg\openexr.ini
Or in the analogous location if you’ve installed 3ds Max 8 somewhere else.

thanks.
I'll let you know if it works.

Mark,
I tried the new ini file and I'm getting the same error. I take it the ini file is supposed to set the defaults for the settings that you have been able to get to work. So the bitdepth is set to 16 bits per channel and so forth.
do you have any other suggestions?
thanks,

Would it be possible to send a failing scene file to deadline-support@franticfilms.com? Then we might be able to reproduce your error.
