I'm trying (again) to test the network rendering and I'm still having a lot of problems. I'm using 2.5 and a demo with a couple of nodes activated temporarily. For now only one slave, and my workstation are being tested.
Submitting the render from the Max dialog and opting for network render (co-op) does not work properly as the output paths seem to get lost even when I double check them in the submission dialog. The image apparently renders, but I cannot get a preview from the WS or the node, or the coop image (error receiving preview data: remote host has closed the connection). The render does finish apparently, but there is no output saved, and choosing the view the output folder via the File menu just opens the c:/ default folder, not the specified output.
If I do everything the same *except* render from Max, stop the render, and then launch it as a co-op render from inside the Monitor it will do the render, and the output gets saved in the right folder, but it still won't show a preview.
All paths are network accessible from both machines are are specified by UNC paths.
Any thoughts?
