Various drop frame problems 2004-05-28 - By Bernard Lebel

Hello,
I'd like to know from the Batchserve users on this list if they have lots of
drop frames in their rendered sequences, and what steps they have taken to
overcome them. Of course, switching to another render manager at this point
is not an option.
Over here we have tons of them. They seem to be COMPLETELY RANDOM, as they
affect different machines (but rarely twice the same) on some frames and not
other frames, and so on. It's the point where I suspect a problem more with
Batchserve rather than mental ray, XSI. Batchserve doesn't log any error
though, so it's very hard to pinpoint what's going in. I suspect vaguely
that it's pretty all related to the same problem (something to do with
refreshing?), but now it's still a vague speculation.
Typical drop-frames include:
- Incidence shader not rendering on some objects;
- Occlusion pass with Dirtmap giving white images;
- Frames rendered completely black (alpha channel even black);
- Objects disappearing;
- Frames of only 1k;
- Frames not rendered at all;
And I won't even mention hair problems.
Thanks for any help
Bernard
