17th March 2007 at 8:14 pm #14627This is mostly related to V-ray itself, by the way , some users are experiencing Max startup problems.
If you see that it happens only WHEN your jobs start simultaneous, try to modify the MAX template, there’s a PRE_DELAY parameter that tell Muster to wait a certain amount of time before sending jobs beloging to the same engine. This may help.
17th March 2007 at 8:13 pm #14626Start your renderclient services from the command line and be sure they are effectively connecting to the Dispatcher (from a dos prompt: renderclient -v 5)
Reasons may be multiple: A firewall or a wrong client version.
17th March 2007 at 8:11 pm #14625We are aware of some installation issues and we’ll fix them as soon as possible. By the way, there’s again a little confusion about user names. The user specified to launch the Windows services is related to the OS only. The user prompted by Muster explorer is related to the MUSTER internal user management. By the default , you should log as “Admin” with a blank password and then configure the accounts.
17th March 2007 at 8:08 pm #14624Explorer for both Mac and Linux are scheduled. It requires a full redesign cause Muster explorer is actually strongly built around Microsoft MFC library, that’s why it will take some times until it will be ready.
23rd January 2007 at 5:01 pm #14615Check the render logs. They always gives a reason for a failure.

23rd January 2007 at 5:00 pm #14614You should make a bat file that take cares of the entire process maybe substituting some command line arguments with the scene file picked up from the Muster interface.
This kind of job is easily doable with Muster 5 using the integrated templates.
Regards.
23rd January 2007 at 4:58 pm #14613This seams more a permission problem, by the way, we suggest drive mappings when using LWSN. You’ve to configure them both on your desktop and on the renderclient preferences (Muster services runs on a different user space), then restart the services.
Btw, just a notice: for important issues, better to send a mail directly to vvsupport@vvertex.com that waiting an answer of the forum. We do not check it daily.
Regards.
18th January 2007 at 1:51 pm #14609You can configure an environmental variables for your user account only modifying the file Maya.env available in your documents and settings/maya folder.
This is a workaround for users not able to configure variables system-wide.
Regards.
18th January 2007 at 1:47 pm #14608You’re launching lwsn from a drive mapping (the U drive). If you’re running the Muster renderclient as a windows service, the user address space between you (currently logged or not) and the service is separated. This means that the service acts as a different user logged in the same moment. This means that even you map a network drive from your interface, it won’t be directly available to Muster. For this purpose, we provide the “STATIC MAPPINGS” section in the renderclient configuration. Just map statically the U drive and reboot the service and everything should work.
By the way, we strongly discourage launching LWSN from a shared source, we suggest you to install it locally on each host.
Regards.
14th January 2007 at 1:05 pm #14606Related to the previous post: Muster 5.1 includes a “Soft restart” function for the Dispatcher and the renderclients. This tells the services to reload the internal data as well as invalidating cached templates. This is usefull for testings.
14th January 2007 at 1:02 pm #14605Version 5.04 has some problems assembling and generating image slices with a slice number different than 4. We fixed the problem as well as fixing some issues with the Mental Ray for Maya image slicing problems. The fixes have been included in version 5.1.
Regards.
11th January 2007 at 5:25 am #14602The OS X client / server are UNIX daaemons, they simply have to be started from the console or from an init script (we’re going to provide ’em in the near future).
Apart from that, Muster explorer for Linux/OSX porting is planned, we do not have any ETA at the moment.
Regards.
11th January 2007 at 5:22 am #14601This is weird, apart from the issue in the Installer to create the user account (we’re looking into making that phase of the installer a little more configurable), the things you’re reporting doesn’t have much sense but I’m almost sure that there’s some kind of policy on your domain that causes those strange authorization errors.
Apart from that, as I said, we are going to change the user creation and things should be easier in the near future, regarding the Muster account, the password is simply “Muster”. Off-course, you should change it on the hosts for increased security.
Regards.
10th January 2007 at 3:11 pm #14599If the installer is not able to start the service, the problem isn’t in the network port but in the user account created by Muster to assign to the services themself. Just “SKIP” the user account creation section during the installation procedure, and assign a user to the services manually as explained in the manual.
This should solve your issue.
Regards.
