Distributed rendering - Different Buckets on Different Computers

Anonymous

Hey!

I have just started trying out the Distributed Rendering service on 3ds max 2018 (v-ray 3.6)and as you can see from the attachment, my buckets are different. You can spot the two different computers (buckets) right on. The buckets on my workstation are the ones with textures, reflections and the floor and the rest are from the other computer. Now, clearly not enough information is getting through. My textures and the plugin (floorgenerator) are not rendering on the other computer. Everything's fine when I render only on my computer. Any help?image.png

Silly me!

After a loooot of click and trial and error I went to Render Setup - System - Settings... (next to Distributed Rendering) - and I checked the 'Transfer missing assests' box. 

 

Works like a charm now!

 

 

- by the way, I decided to leave this here just in case someone runs into the same sort of 'problem' as I did.
