softimage 2011 sp1 errors on tile combining

Deadline
1

testing now and wihtout understanding why ive uninstall and reinstall deadline and seems to work, but now i got a problem when combining the images the error says :

0: STDOUT: Validating that component tile “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\burn to shine\characters\bluesmanOBJ\Bluesman\Render_Pictures_tile_1x1_3x3_Default_Pass_Main.1.tif” exists.
0: STDOUT: ERROR: Component tile “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\burn to shine\characters\bluesmanOBJ\Bluesman\Render_Pictures_tile_1x1_3x3_Default_Pass_Main.1.tif” doesn’t exist.
Scheduler Thread - Render Thread 0 threw an error:
Scheduler Thread - Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): ERROR: Component tile “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\burn to shine\characters\bluesmanOBJ\Bluesman\Render_Pictures_tile_1x1_3x3_Default_Pass_Main.1.tif” doesn’t exist.

at Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin.RenderTasks(Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage)

im rendering locally on the main machine, i should change the outputh path of the image? ive render locally with a the main machine to check if was working and having the local path with the same machine doesnt create any problem so i guess is that.
thanks for any reply

Hi there,

Just to confirm, is the problem you’re reporting here (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5085) no longer an issue? If you’re at the point where Softimage is starting to render, it would seem like Deadline is no longer complaining about the path to the executable.

As you suspected, to avoid the tile rendering error, you must ensure that your output paths are set to a location that is accessible by all slaves. If one slave saves a tile to its desktop, the other slave won’t be able to find it.

Cheers,
