Maya 2015 + Xgen + V-Ray 3.0 BATCH RENDER / RENDER FARM

#1

Has anyone been able to get xgen to render on a remote renderfarm? I’ve been trying all day (followed all the instructions from autodesk and chaosgroup), cant figure it out. Tried baking out to MEL file as well, it creates a huge mess.

Renders are either blank or failing with fatal errors on rebus-farm.net, rendercore.com, and trying pixel plow now (but it says the scene with 35 plants is 33 GB …).

any advice is appreciated.

thanks!

Since you mentioned renders are black … could it have something to do with file paths?
What operating system are you running?
You would have to make sure all external data like sourceimages paths are located on a reachable server location.

If you can send in your settings, we can try it out in our facility and let you know if there is a issue or there is a work around to it.

Best,

you have to send the maya project with all data… and do the export for batch rendering…
