Final Render animation problem

Maxer · August 17th, 2004

Has anyone run across a problem when network rendering an animation with Final Render with different computers rendering a different GI solution? I'm doing some tests and if I'm using 5 machines each one will render out a different looking GI solution even though I'm re-using the solution.

I have had similar experiences, though not with animations. Starting rendering in a dark part of the image gives another solution than start rendering the exact same situation in a light part. What happens if you render the animation on the same machine? (one frame after the other)

I'll check it out and let you know.

Do you have the same core installed? Pent III or Pent 4 on all the machines. as well are you using DR for rendering?

project looks interesting. post it in the completed work when you are done. i would like to see it.

The core is the same on all of the machines, but I've been using network rendering from Max. I was under the impression that DR was only for single images, is that wrong?

As for the project it's not mine, it's not even a project, it's just a scene from a tutorial that I've been working on and experimenting with.

I've run some tests and it seams that when I render the animation on a single computer it comes out fine. When I start using more than one computer that's when I start getting the flickering problem. What would cause this?

you need to reuse your lighting solution

Eureka! I finally got it to work, I had to check "save solution, reuse solution, and lock solution". Thanks for all the help!
