Network rendering questions v2.02

Hello,

I just upgraded to v2 last week. I did a network rendering last night. The node for one machine said it rendered to 17sl successfully. The other node is just finishing up it is at 16.92. But the monitor said each rendering was only at 10 sl. So some where some how it stopped keeping track. So the question is where is my mxi file? They used to go to a temp folder with v1.7 but there is nothing there now.

Thanks,

Aaron



I found the .mxi for the render node that finished last, out of my 2 node farm. It was Output_temporary.mxi in the rendernode folder. But in the same directory on my other machine, only the final rendered image exists in the rendernode folder. So it worked but I have no mxi file to merge with the other one. I searched my machine and it does not seem to exist. So what may have happened? With v1.7 if mxcl crashed during a network render and the nodes were still chugging, I was always able to retrieve my mxi's for manual merging after they finished.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,
I think these are Maxwell Network Render questions, not formZ plugin-specific questions. You might want to post them on the "Maxwell Network" forum.
Best,
Ben

Ben,

I did not realize they had a network render forum. Thanks for telling me.

Did you get those files I sent you?

Thanks,

Aaron
