Here is the max file in the Auxillary folder that is failing.

Turns out we actually have a note about this error at the bottom of the 3dsmax documentation:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … d_Meanings

So obvious first question: are you running Deadline as a service?

Yes to services. I’ll try changing the switch. Is that possible to change when installing or upgrading deadline in your installer?

Oh that’s not an option. We don’t use local accounts, we use Domain user accounts.

I’ve suffered this bug for a long, long time now. According to Autodesk people, it was fixed in Max2014 SP3. If you need it for 2013 you’re screwed.

We’re on 2014 Sp3 I’m pretty sure. I know I had high hopes when I heard it would be addressed. :frowning:

Looking at the provided slave error report for machine: “RENDER-I7-03” it is reporting:

According to internal docs, you are running the base install of 3dsMax 2014 on this machine:

  1. 3dsmax.exe - base install = 16.0.420.0
  2. servicepack_sp1 = 16.1.178.0
  3. servicepack_sp2 = 16.2.475.0
  4. servicepack_sp3 = 16.3.253.0

Might be an idea to check all your machines are running the same version of 3dsMax2014.

It would appear that I was lied to. :stuck_out_tongue:

Definitely on SP3 now on submission and rendering. Still see this in the logs. Although it hasn’t failed a render yet.

I believe support for VRay v3.x hasn’t been added yet.

Not worried about the Vray 3 warnings, more so just that the state set “AnchorHelper.dll is missing” error still pops up in SP3. Isn’t that the State Sets bug?

Every reference to thte anchor object missing was labeled as an installed service problem related to state sets. I’m in the same boat as you.

If both you guys are still seeing issues with SP3 installed, I would suggest logging it ASAP to ADSK via the beta forum or whatever your official reseller channel is.

THis needs to be dealt with. Is there something we can do to boil this problem down? Does Deadline just launch 3dsmaxcommand with the parameter flags set? If I could try to simulate what deadline is doing to just a 3ds max specific example, it might produce something that is presentable to autodesk to fix. Otherwise I have a feeling we’re going to get “It works in backburner…” answer from them.

oatz, do you have SP3 installed on the farm? Also, can you post an error report from one of your jobs when this error occurs? In the last log that Gavin (im_thatoneguy) posted, the AnchorHelper.dll message is now just a warning instead of an error after he upgraded to SP3, and it’s no longer failing his renders.

Cheers,
Ryan

It shows it as a WRN, but fails the job. If I then Reset Scene States and submit, it renders without issue.

Yeah we see that too occasionally still.

Hi Oatz,

Is that supplied error report from when your slave is running as a service? Could you supply a log report from when the same slave is running via the desktop, ideally processing the same job, so we can do a diff compare to see if anything sticks out.

Right now, this is worrying me in your error log (State Sets uses Qt as it’s UI…):

Could you provide a dump of your PATH environment variable for both rendering modes?
CMD Prompt: “set path > c:\path.txt” will re-direct the information I need to a file that you could send us.

Also, this log is from a v6.0 slave. As this is the beta forum, can you upgrade to RC1 as there is a load of additional debugging info in there which could well help us here :slight_smile:

I see your thread on the ADSK beta site and think this issue is something specific to your environment. So, let’s work through it and see what we can find :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Mike

Untested Windows Version 6.2 is I believe Windows 8.1.
