Re: Royal render and redshift

[Tim Crowson]

No sure about RS being absent from the list of renderers. RR does that 
automatically for us. Hmmm

Have you asked about on the RS forum?

thanks guys, looks like i need to sort the login/application side of 
things.

still not sure about workflow though
for example, i have a demo version on my machine, using this to test 
scenes before submitting to farm (currently one machine, but i don't 
want to
 be forced to walk across the office everytime i want to set off a 
render, and besides, the whole point of using RR is to queue jobs!)
but, when i open a scene locally with redshift set as the renderer... 
i run rrSubmit and redshift isn't in the drop down list of 
renderers. it says mental ray
so when the job goes to the redshift licesnsed machine, it renders in 
mental ray!
am i missing somethign? does the sumbimming machine also have to be 
logged in as RR?

Adrian we have been using RR with RS for over a year and half and 
haven't had any trouble. If the scenes are rendering in Mental Ray, 
it's because Softimage is defaulting to that because something has 
gone wrong with loading or running the Redshift plugin/core.


Are you running your RR clients as services? If so this will fail, 
because the GPU can't be accessed unless the client is actually logged 
in and the RR client is run as an application rather than a service 
(due to a limitation with Windows).


If that's not an issue, then perhaps the Redshift Core isn't being 
located at render time correctly?

[Matt Morris]

We have been using it with v6 (6.02.14) just fine. RR has to be run as an
application though, not as a service. You need a licence for every node as
well.

While you get a proper answer, Holger talks about some requirements, like
having a user logged in. Also I've read it works on 7 but not sure if that
applies for version 6 since that version is now considered not supported.

Royal render and redshift

anyone able clarify what the earliest version of Royal Render is,  that
supports rendering in Soft with Redshift? not clear on the RR website
 
we're running 6.02.015 and when submitting Redshift scenes, they render in
mental ray!  not ideal!!
