Multiscatter & itoo Forest Pack compatibility?

[ryo]

Hello,

I can't get the distributed rendering to work with multiscatter on slaves.
I've installed the latest version 1.1.05b on all my computers.
I've tried all the usual suspects (firewall, reboot, fixed IP address, reinstalls, etc.)
So my only left suspect is another plugin: itoo's Forest pack pro.
Are there any known incompatibility between Forest pack and Multiscatter?

However perhaps is there another issue I forgot to resolve?

Thanks in advance,

Ryo

Do you have an error message? Or it renders incorrect? What exactly doesn't work in MS?

[ryo]

what doesn't work is the DR.
I can render on my machine but cannot use my renderfarm.

I can render on my machine but cannot use my renderfarm.

Why?

[ryo]

That's the question.
When I try to DR, only my machine computes the image.
I remove the MS mesh from my scene and DR works.
Forest pack meshes work with DR though.
I was wondering if I had to install rendernodes multiscatter exe on the renderfarm but apparently I can't find any RenderStation exe anymore (there's no more RS & WS difference?)

[Karba]

Just install MultiScatter_WS.exe on rendernodes too. It can render without licence.
It seems you are from Itosoft.

Thanks for the reply.
I have installed multiscatter.exe (no more WS or RS exe? I can only find one unique exe) on the computers of my renderfarm, but no one kicks when I do DR.
Is there anything I must know? manual is not very explicit about that. a firewall issue? a reboot needed?

its actually described in the manual in "Installing for network or distributed rendering" section
https://icube3d.com/ru_en/manual-multiscatter.html

can you do DR without MultiScatter?

[ryo]

I uninstalled MS on all my computers and DR works perfectly.
So I guess MS interfers with DR routines?

Actually I'm beginning to figure my problem is related to MS and not to Forest Pack compatibility...
