Various drop frame problems 2004-05-28 - By Fabrice Altman
Back
Hi Bernard,
not that many problems here.
But a few things :
- P4 binaries are disabled on all clients.
- Dirtmap shader had some pblms when applied as a saved preset
for some reason.
- Worth trying to up the job mem limit.
- At some point we had frames hanging randomly (never finishing
rendering) and Soft support sent us a client and server update.
- Worth deleting the log to start it from scratch.
Hope this helps,
F.

Subject: [Batchserve] Various drop frame problems
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
