    I’v built a new template from “mr_uid15.template”, but it just didn’t work. I’m sure I copied this one to the render client and dispatcher,and I “soft restart” the render client, and even the dispatcher, but all I got was only a red dot, what was wrong with it….Can any one help…Thanks a lot!

    my template:
    # JDL – Job Description language
    # Template file for Muster 5.0, applies to Mental ray multifile render
    #
    # Basic template declaration, specify job string identifier and unique ID

    If you get a red dot, there’s an error reported by a renderclient. Take particular attention, when you publish a new template, it has a new template ID, it means that you’ve to reconfigure the PATHS for that particular template on each render client.
