Hey All,

Setup
Renderfarm Manager - Thinkbox Deadline v7.1

Windows 10 Systems
Maxwell v3.2.1.4

Mac OS X 10.11.3
Maxwell v3.2.1.3

Error details

Command
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 3\maxwell.exe -mxs:N:\renderfarm\Koala_Hospital\Render\Right_Camera\Right_Cam.0000.mxs -nowait -hide -animation:660-660 -threads:0 -time:45 -sampling:16.0 -node -verbose:4 -output:N:\renderfarm\Koala_Hospital\Render\Rendered_Frames\Right_Cam\Right_Cam.exr -mxi:N:\renderfarm\Koala_Hospital\Render\Rendered_Frames\Right_Cam\Right_Cam.0660.mxi -trytoresume
We're experiencing an somewhat odd error when resuming our renders. If the renders start on a Windows system and resume on a Windows system, they are OK. If they resume on a Mac OS X system they render OK. If they then go to back to a Windows system to resume we get the following error at the end:
2016-08-17 10:33:39: 0: STDOUT: can't open /Volumes/Network/renderfarm/Koala_Hospital/Render/Rendered_Frames/Right_Cam/Right_Cam.0660.exr for writing.

To me this indicates that Maxwell isn't paying attention to the command parameters and outputting the file to the OS X used location.

Also, if we go back to a Mac OS X System to resume, the MXI is corrupted.

Example Render Task Process
  • Windows - start render - OK
  • Windows - resume render - OK
  • Mac OS X - resume render - OK
  • Windows - resume render - Write fail for image
  • Mac OS X - resume render - MXI "/Volumes/Network/renderfarm/Koala_Hospital/Render/Rendered_Frames/Right_Cam/Right_Cam.0044.mxi" is an invalid/obsolete MXI to resume. Unable to resume file.
Is there an issue going back and forth between v3.2.1.4 and v 3.2.1.3 or cross platform?

#391953
Hi

just a few general tips I can give:

- upgrade to 3.2.1.5 (3.2.1.4 had issues with mxi and resume) or downgrade to 3.2.1.2
http://www.maxwellrender.com/betas/plugin/22
i do not know why .1.5 is not on the customer portal yet...

- you need to have identical versions on all machines contributing to a render (including manager)

- if you downgrade, eg going back to 3.2.1.2, you should uninstall maxwell and then reinstall.
do not install "over" an existing higher version. I noticed that in such a case not all files get updated correctly.

Thanks dk2079.

I considered it might of been a version conflict, but didn't see any details of an issue in the release notes and there had been mentions in previous version release notes. Probably a default rule nowadays to use all the same version. I'll jump them all to v3.2.1.5 and see how they go. I was hesitant to go to this version as its not backward compatible at all, but our existing mxi's are broken now anyway so that concern is a mute point. Probably safer to start 'fresh' on x.1.5 release anyway.

I'm also going to assume this latest version is still in beta as its all hands on deck getting v4 to release.
Will there be a Maxwell Render 6 ?

Let's be realistic. What's left of NL is only milk[…]
