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!! thanks a Adrian Wyer Fluid Pictures 75-77 Margaret St. London W1W 8SY ++44(0) 207 580 0829 blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::mailto:adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com www.fluid-pictures.com blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::http://www.fluid-pictures.com/ Fluid Pictures Limited is registered in England and Wales.

Re: Royal render and redshift
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. http://www.royalrender.de/help7/index.html?GPUrender.html On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 3:48 PM, adrian wyer adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com wrote: 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!! thanks a Adrian Wyer Fluid Pictures 75-77 Margaret St. London W1W 8SY ++44(0) 207 580 0829 adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com www.fluid-pictures.com Fluid Pictures Limited is registered in England and Wales.

Re: Royal render and redshift
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.

Re: Royal render and redshift
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? -Tim On 11/18/2014 9:19 AM, Oscar Juarez wrote: While you get a proper answer, Holger talks about some requirements, like having a user logged in.

RE: Royal render and redshift
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? a _ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Tim Crowson Sent: 18 November 2014 15:47 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Royal render and redshift Adrian we have been using RR with RS for over a year and half and haven't had any trouble.

Re: Royal render and redshift
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? -Tim On 11/18/2014 10:32 AM, adrian wyer wrote: Signature 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? a *From:* softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] *On Behalf Of *Tim Crowson *Sent:* 18 November 2014 15:47 *To:* softimage@listproc.autodesk.com *Subject:* Re: Royal render and redshift Adrian we have been using RR with RS for over a year and half and haven't had any trouble.
