To all, I can't seem to get my flare .ixp to work when net rendering. I've already modified the 3dsnet.set and 3ds.set files on the slaves to look for the ixp's in the right place but still nothing. When I render on the master computer, everything works fine. Am I missing something? Thanks, Don

General recommendation is to have copies of all IPAS routines accessed in rendering located in the local path of each slave, not on the server. If you have large graphics mapping files do the same with them. Also be sure you have the latest version of lens flare. I think the original version had some problems with network rendering. Can't remember the details.

Are you using flare_i.ixp or flare2_i.ixp? If it's the former, you'll need to upgrade to flare2 to get the net-aware version. – G

Contact the Schreiber folks… the upgrade is available via their BBS. – G
