Getting Black frames on Production render - unable to load dynamic library openvdb.dll

[osukas]

Hello, Im using a purchased model in 3Dsmax and rendering it with Arnold.

In Active shade mode It works, but when I switch to Production I get an empty scene, all black.

I found out that if I turn off 2 Geometries, the render seems to work.

The log gives me this:

00:00:00 3715MB WARNING | unable to load dynamic library c:/programdata/autodesk/applicationplugins/maxtoa_2022\openvdb.dll: The specified module could not be found.

Im using 3dsmax 2022 with Arnold 5.3.2.6

Did a quick unwrapped and solved the issue.

Seems that the issue was that there was floating points on the mesh, without connecting to any other point. I Did a clean and the mesh is rendering now

I wonder why you would get the openvdb library error if it was a mesh problem. I have a good render but get the error. I have no vdb objects in the scene. Hmm.
