Quake, I have windows xp64, I installed the latest update of Java, and when I open the file which I put in a separate folder with a pack and go opens fine.
I installed your latest version and everything seems fine however, the file upload pretty fast and now it said render on 60 machines but no progress bar activity. I will wait a few more minutes to see what happens. I will let you know and thank you for the support, I always wanted to try a services like this.

not so cutty - progress comes if PC finished render and start merge - as long u see active pc on ur job all is fine

[wagurto]

yes I see the results know. However, the program fail to download the files back to my pc.
I would like to see how much would cost to render this job? I think the 20 minutes its ok.

[QuakeMarine1]

just try again to DL - I currently modify the compress+DL scripts - maybe thats why ...

[wagurto]

Still failing to download.
I tried your calculator and I have a question, how many pcs render the scene in the none trail mode (limit 60pc)
I got a price for the 20 minutes but I would like to know if there will more machines rendering the file on a pay version.
thanks

andre,

have you seen this thread btw.?

[QuakeMarine1]

other user not report consistent DL problems
you DL speed was/is 25to50kbs - its not common to have such a variation
must be the connection between us
I can move the output to an alternate FTP in worst case


it dose not make sense to use more then 60 PC per job
more pc are faster but you have more MXI to merge and thats causing a quality loose
here an extreme example
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... =3&t=32114

if 60 pc need 60min to render then 120 pc need 30-40min
if local render need 120 hour it should not bother you to wait 30min more

we are not yet sure about the final price for Maxwell (maybe free forever - who knows .. )

your image was rendered 10min instat of 20min



yes i have seen the last thread - I use the EXACT same way as Maxwell do it in net-render
so far it happen only in his scene - all other are ok

another issue:
when I close the farminizer sometimes (2x up to now) I had the problem that, when finished I cannot download anything. the renders are ready, but the status displays 'ready to render' and there is no download option. (not via rightclick and no other options)

[brodie_geers]

here's a minor annoyance. When the dialog box pops up asking you which cameras you want to render, the box is too small. If you have 5+ cameras in there it doesn't show all of them (too small vertically). You also have to expand it in order to hit the Finish button (too small horizontally). Be nice if it's initial size was about twice as large.

ok to both

in case someone miss a job , I restetted the system one more time, so active jobs are lost


until now each job hit the maximal rendertime
if you have a small test render in PAL not set SL 25
set 10 and render is done immidently

Does the program work within 3dsmax? if so how do I iniciate the plugin?
thanks

[brodie_geers]

Rendering seemed to go through ok but on download I got this. Not sure what it means or how to correct this. Reduce resolution so it takes less RAM?

[16:03:42] - Skipping: C:\Users\hbe244\RebusManagerProjects\brodie\output\ventura_lower_perspective_17_full_park_01.mxp\scene need too much RAM - render is 1% CPU since 25min so I kill it

-Brodie

[QuakeMarine1]

Farminizer is working for
-3dsmax + Final render, Vray, Mental ray, scanline
distributed still frame render for Vray and Mental ray (on 800core per image + supporting GI precalculation, no need to cache GI/FG before render
-Cinema + Vray, Final render, Advance render2 3, scanline
-xsi + MR
-maya + MR , software

we maybe include Maxwell too but only for animations to avoid sending 1000 mxs
for single frame go the current way

brodie
insteat of searching in the database for your email and writing you , I just creat in the output folder a file with some notes so I can be sure you got the info

but i forgotten the downloader skip files smaller then 1kb so you get the message "skipping ..."
if I kill or stop a job the manager repot "ready for download" even it isnt

[macray]

something else that might be interesting for your clients:

- could you display the file size of the files that we are about to download - maybe next to the file names ready for download in the output panel.
That way we can have a rough estimation how long it might take to download the mxi files.
(as a workaround sometimes I cancel the download after the image is downloaded if I don't need the mxi file and it takes too long to download.)

can jobs take less then 10min?
i twice set a job to 2min (testwise - cube on a plane) but they seem both to have rendered 10min each.
