#SMD in Net-Rendering?

To use the Secondary-motion-data the right way I have to enter the attribute settings in the keyframer and press OK. But in Network Rendering that doesn't work. I enter the settings as allways but when I view my log after the rendering has completed I see the remark : "Out of secondary motion data….". What can I do ?

From your message, Sus, it looks like the rendering is completing itself, right? What exactly are the rendering errors you are seeing? -Alan

Alan, <<From your message, Sus, it looks like the rendering is completing itself, right? What exactly are the rendering errors you are seeing?>> It is completing itself but the animation is different: the error is "Outdated secondary motion data, Object may render incorractly…" it's the same message i'm getting from normal rendering, but the difference is that this one continues and does not pause and prompt.

OK, what I meant was, in the _animation itself_, what was wrong with it in terms of what the particle system was doing, or not doing, as the case may be. In other words, is the object rendering incorrectly, and if so what exactly is wrong with it?

I have used the Vapor to simulate sand but the sand "flies" in different directions from the ones I set him. it has its own mind…. Sus.

SO, you are saying that your Master machine is rendering everything properly, but the slaves are not? -Alan

Hi Alan. <<SO, you are saying that your Master machine is rendering everything properly, but the slaves are not?>> No, I am not using slaves and masters, I'm using the same computer for both slave and master. I send rendering jobs to the net Queue and then turning my computer into slave mode. Sus.

OK, but the problem concerning Net Rendering still is not clear to me. If you render to disk, and not to the Net Queue, does the animation render correctly? -Alan

Alan, <<If you render to disk, and not to the Net Queue, does the animation render correctly?>> If I get into the Vapor settings in the attribute dialog box, and press "OK" in the keyframer (to set the SMD to the frames) the animation work great. Sus.
