Vray DBR submission error with deadline 10.3.0.10

[GrahamMac]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been setting up Vray7 in Max2024 and hitting same issue with the path to the vrayspawner2024.exe. (Using Deadline 10.3.0.10)

The Deadline monitor gives this error when running a DBR job on any node:

Error: Error: V-Ray DBR: V-Ray Spawner executable does not exist: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2024\vrayspawner2024.exe

at Deadline.Plugins.PluginWrapper.RenderTasks(Task task, String& outMessage, AbortLevel& abortLevel)

I realise Chaos group changed the installed path a while ago to:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\VRay3dsMax2024\bin\vrayspawner2024.exe

So, I tried adding these to my firewall exclusion, which didn’t help:

…\bin\vrayspawner2024.exe
and
…\3ds Max 2024\3dmax.exe

Also, Freiraum_FX_GmbH, I tried your suggestion. On the server machine I went to:

DeadlineRepository10\plugins\VraySpawner\VraySpawner.param

I found the last entry (for 3dsMax) was:

[VRaySpawnerExecutable_Max2020]
…
CategoryOrder=0
CategoryIndex=7
…

So, after this entry I added entries for Max2021 (current setup) and Max2024 (new setup):

[VRaySpawnerExecutable_Max2021]
Type=multilinemultifilename
Label=3ds Max 2021 Spawner Executable
Category=V-Ray Spawner Executables for 3ds Max
CategoryOrder=0
CategoryIndex=8
Default=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2021\vrayspawner2021.exe
Description=The path to the V-Ray Spawner executable file for 3ds Max 2021. Enter alternative paths on separate lines.

[VRaySpawnerExecutable_Max2024]
Type=multilinemultifilename
Label=3ds Max 2024 Spawner Executable
Category=V-Ray Spawner Executables for 3ds Max
CategoryOrder=0
CategoryIndex=9
Default=C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\VRay3dsMax2024\bin\vrayspawner2024.exe
Description=The path to the V-Ray Spawner executable file for 3ds Max 2024. Enter alternative paths on separate lines.

Unfortunately, even after restarting the PC running the Deadline server, the problem persists!

I tried the same entries here too:
DeadlineRepository10\custom\plugins\VraySpawner\VraySpawner.param

Still nothing got fixed!

VRay 6, Max 2024, & VRaySpawner not working

Hello all, I manage a farm of ~25 workstations and nodes, and I am in the process of installing and testing Deadline on our system to replace our current render queue manager (Pulze). I have the repository and RCS running properly, and I have the Deadline client installed and running properly on a few render nodes and 1 workstation. The one final thing I cannot seem to get working is a simple DBR rendering using V-ray 6 & Max 2024. A DBR job is submitted easily, and a master node is assigned …

Is there a fix for this or another workaround I can try?

Many Thanks
Graham
