hi there

I am Andre, admin of the Rebus Render Farm

we are now supporting Maxwell render fully automated

to test the system we start a public Beta

you can render FOR FREE to help finding bugs
during beta we limit all jobs to 60PC and 20min

simple and easy

find installer here
WIN
http://www.rebusfarm.de/downloads/Rebus ... .4_RC1.exe
MAC
we are reworking the MAC install - some bugs poping up on 32vs64bit java - very annouing - Mac user must wait until fix is out


!! do not send confidential stuff !!

do not delete other users job in manager

in case of render error keep job in manager and report here or "info at rebusfarm.com"

known bugs
- if you use .mxm materials you need to "pack and go" from studio - previwe mxi of materials not uploading currently and render fail

if you have suggestions, questions or doubts just ask

have fun and lets hope the best

hi, i tried to setup the path to mxcl on OSX and get an error message after i have chosen the app.
"The path you specified could not be matched to a 3D application. Please choose the .exe or .app of the main application"

[QuakeMarine1]

ok I look into this
just skip the setup to mxcl - its a non used place holder for further features

[QuakeMarine1]

yes the file is missing in the install - shame to me

I have updated the installer so re-run it

otherwise
http://www.rebusfarm.de/downloads/mwcheck.zip
place the file into the same folder as manager.exe

who the heck is sending 3dsmax jobs ?
render your Labyrint file in your own account - not in the beta demo account
even if render finish you can not download the output so do not waste your time

[QuakeMarine1]

it seems there is a joker outthere messing up other users jobs

just register on my webside to creat your own account for testing
its free as well beta

[QuakeMarine1]

seems to be a monolog thread

one bug poping up
- if you use .mxm materials you need to "pack and go" from studio - previwe mxi of materials not uploading currently and render fail

I don't know about the others, but I kept having problems with uploading stuff: For example I had 6 maps and every time 2 or 3 where not able to be uploaded (an error occurred) and every time it was some different maps, not the same ones. So it took like 4 cycles to upload all the maps. Only the very last time I was able to upload all the stuff without a problem on the very first try. Also a similar problem with downloading occurred, plus once a strange thing happened: the system wrote: "an error occurred while downloading file..." but the .MXI turned out to be fully working.

I would also like to ask a few questions:
- is 'Multilight' supported?
- is it possible to preview the image in the middle of the rendering process?
- how exactly do I count the price of the render? Is there some faq or something on using 'Calculator'?

Thanks

I uploaded one project to test with, after over an hour rendering the scene the rendermanager reported the upload failed so i had to reupload it again and now restarted the rendering again. A second scene is also waiting to be rendered, i'll check them both tomorrow to see if they're finished or if they failed.

Found another problem:
Render crashes in the middle of the process:
[01:55:34] - Project b1.mxp has RenderID but is not in Smedge
after 'Referesh' file status is automatically switched 'Ready to Render'

here's another one:
[04:19:47] - Project t800hand.mxp has RenderID but is not in Smedge
