Windows 8 problem

[simmsimaging]

I have installed Windows 8 on one render node. Using it for DR renders with vray from my workstation is no problem but using it for DR renders via back burner isn't working. I am getting dozens of buckets across the render (far more than I have cores for) that just stall out.

I have seen this before with mismatched plugins but that isn't the problem here. Any known issues with back burner, railclone and windows 8? It's probably something I am doing but I don't want to waste more time on it if is something else.

Again, it works fine with regular Dr renders just not when the host is a back burner render.

Tks in advance.

We had no time to test Windows 8 yet, anyway a plugin cannot modify the number of buckets. That depends exclusively of Vray.

We will test it as soon as possible.

It is a problem I have seen before with a plug in problem but not sure that it's vray specific. It is a weird artifact thing. I will send a screen capture next time I get it to happen.

As an update: I got another scene to render ok in both regular and DR renders via back burner. I need. More time to test it with some other scenes, but but this one scene was rendering ok prior to the windows 8 upgrade to. I will keep you posted.

just an update: it's fine now. I re-installed the plugins on all my nodes and it has fixed it. I must have had a mis-matched version of something in there. Anyway, it seems okay now.

Thanks!

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
