Handle Existing DR/DBR Process: Only one instance of the same DR process running over the same port is possible.

Here you can specify the executable used for rendering for the different versions of VRay. While in super user mode, select Tools -> Configure Plugins and select the VRaySpawner plug-in from the list on the left. You can configure the VRay Spawner/VRay standalone plug-in settings from the Monitor. Typically, opening TCP/UDP ports in the range: 20200-20300 will cover all VRay implementations for DBR. It is recommended to disable any client firewall whilst initial testing/configuration is carried out. The port number needs to be identical on all machines including the workstation machine for a particular DCC application to communicate correctly. In the case of Softimage, this is necessary because Softimage uses VRay standalone for distributed rendering and the default port number for VRay in Softimage is different from the default port number in VRay standalone.

Port Number (Softimage/Maya/3dsMaxRT only): The port number that VRay will use for distributed rendering.Version: The version of the application, if applicable.Application: The application you will be initiating the distributed render from.Is the case, itвЂ™s probably best to wait a minute or so after the last server has shown up before pressing Start Render.ДЄfter the render is finished, you can press Release Servers or close the submitter UI (Setup VRay DBR With Deadline) to mark the VRay Spawner/VRay standalone job as complete so that the render nodes can move on to another job. This means that a server in the Active Server list could have started the VRay Spawner, but itвЂ™s not fully initialized yet.

Note that the VRay Spawner/VRay standalone process can sometimes take a little while to initialize. Once you are happy with the server list, press Start Render (3ds Max and Maya) or Render Current Pass/Render All Passes (Softimage) to start distributed rendering. The jobвЂ™s ID and Status will be tracked in the submitter, and as nodes pick up the job, they will show up in theДЄctive Servers list.

Complete Job After Render (3dsMax only): When checked, as soon as the DR session has completed (max quick render finished), then the Deadline job will be marked as complete in the queue.ДЄfter youвЂ™ve configured your submission options, press the Reserve Servers button to submit the VRay Spawner job.

Automatically Update Server List (3dsMax only): This option when un-checked stops the automatic refresh of the active servers list based on the current Deadline queue.Use Server IP Address instead of Host Name: If checked, the Active Servers list will show the server IP addresses instead of host names.Port Number (Softimage/Maya/3dsMax/3dsMaxRT only): The port number that VRay will use for distributed rendering.Maximum Servers: The maximum number of VRay Servers to reserve for distributed rendering.The general Deadline options are explained in the Job Submission documentation. You can simply re-queue or delete/complete the current DBR job or re-submit. This can be helpful if VRay DBR becomes unstable and a user wishes to reset the system remotely. This makes our system more flexible and resilient to crashes as when we terminate the VRay DBR job in the Deadline queue, the Deadline Slave application will вЂcleanlyвЂ™ tidy up VRaySpawner/standalone and more importantly, any DCC application (3dsMax/Maya) or standalone instances which it in turn has spawned as a child process. Deadline is more flexible here and will spawn the VRaySpawner/standalone executable as a child process of the Deadline Slave.

The interactive submitter will submit a VRay Spawner job (VRay standalone for Maya, Softimage, 3dsMaxRT, Rhino, Sketchup) to reserve render nodes, and the submitter will automatically update the VRay server list.Дo NOT execute or install the Chaos Group VRaySpawner (VRaySpawner/VRaySpawner RT/VRay standalone) executable as a background service (NT service/daemon). The instructions for installing the integrated submission script can be found further down this page. You can submit interactive VRay DBR jobs from 3ds Max, Maya, or Softimage.
