Backburner render different on each machine
polycounter lvl 6
hello fellow gangsters, lords of the earth, etc.
I have 3 machines in my render farm. The two servers render the images differently than my workstation. I set task size to 5 frames, every five frames you see the flicker go on and off. BTW this is for MAYA.
(1.) I want you to focus on where the water meets the ground, to the left of the boat. notice the flikring? WTF IS THAT? its NOT an animated light.I had the same problem with another render, where everytime the frames switched from my workstation to that of either of the other servers, it would look like some non exisiting light turned on and off... This cannot continue as i have lots of things to render.
(2.) I question the efficiency of my set up: my good computer renders this scene at 5 frames for 3 minutes, the other two each at around 16 minutes for five frames.)
good computer: amd phenom 2 x4 970 3.4 ghz
other two servers are amd athlon dual core 1.8 ghz
help prease. and let me know if you want more technical info.
Here are links. i want you to ignore the disappearing man, i deleted him on purpose. Choose the 10mb(!) gif, or the non looping video.

so... i'll get to reading then.
My project was set to the character i am working on, then i switched to this scene and painted a 3d texture, and so it was saved in the characters project folders. The moral is, Switch to whatever project each scene is assigned to if you do things like painting 3d textures, because it saves wahtever you paint under whatever project you are in.
