Hello guys, this is the problem...
When I have loaded this mxi file in Maxwell render, I've notice this artifacts (see the linked image); the strange colored lines;
I've used cooperative render for this mxi and an hdr image for the environment...
is this a bug ?

a few people have had this issue, ...it's been suggested it's down to network traffic. As far as i'm aware there is no current fix, but if you run the render again it may not appear- it has happened to me in the past. (though there is no guarantee - it's a random occurrence)

I've had these when opening a .mxi file too early while mxcl might still be writing. Network also here.

Maybe you can merge the cooperative mxi's manually (from temp folder) and it gets solved that way.

If you look in the temp folders of the network render nodes, you will probably find the fulty mxi. Just leave that one out when you do a manual mxi merge of the others. I think this happens when one doesn't get written completely.
