V-Ray Standalone Path Error

Deadline
1

Hi, I’ve been trying to set up Deadline with V-Ray Standalone. The network appears to be working correctly everything is shared, and the Repository is linked too. For the Plug-in I have vray.exe listed, and path mapping set to true.

Here is the error for the tasks. If someone knows what’s causing this it would be of great help.

Error: Could not find a part of the path 'F:\Rendershare\heart_assetMP\vr_scenes\heartLoop.vrscene'. (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException) at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite, Boolean checkHost) at Deadline.IO.PathMappingUtils.CheckPathMappingInFileAndReplace(String inFileName, String outFileName, String[] stringsToReplace, String[] newStrings, DataController dataController, GenericDelegate1`1 logFunction, String regionID) at Deadline.Scripting.RepositoryUtils.CheckPathMappingInFileAndReplaceSeparator(String inFileName, String outFileName, String separatorToReplace, String newSeparator) at Python.Runtime.Dispatcher.TrueDispatch(ArrayList args) at Python.Runtime.Dispatcher.Dispatch(ArrayList args) at FranticX.Processes.ManagedProcess.PreRenderTasks() at FranticX.Processes.ManagedProcess.Execute(Boolean waitForExit) at Deadline.Plugins.PluginWrapper.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage, AbortLevel& abortLevel)

UPDATE: Hey guys, I reconfigured my network and was able to solve the issue, but a new one popped up (I actually know the problem this time).

My V-Ray licenses only include one full workstation license, and one slave license for the time being. The problem is that when I render a job over Deadline, the full workstation license is being used which either drops the license on the computer I’m trying to work on, or drops my render node off of the network. Is there any way to make sure that Deadline is using the slave node version of V-Ray?

Hello,

I believe Chaos Group includes an app you run to change the licensing of the machine, but I am not sure what it’s called since it’s not our software. Perhaps run the installer on the slave and see if it goes through the licensing part?
