Hi Cineversity,

I am having a problem with C4d NET Render Server & Client. Not a new problem, this is the first time we are using this.

Before I give you too much info, the error message I keep getting is “missing textures”.

There are no 3rd party plug-ins, no firewall. I have been diligent to make sure textures are in proper folder.

I am hoping this is a common problem.

I can give you more information if you need it. I am attaching a screen grab of the message.

Thanks for your help!

Hi TCG,

Have you checked this information: (I took it from R12, as I have no idea which version you are using)

CINEMA 4D>> Expanded Functionality> NET Render Installation and configuration Preparation
Creating Projects

When you scroll down, you find several options, e.g.:
3. You can create a new empty job on the Jobs page. CINEMA 4D NET Render then creates an empty folder named after the job in your user folder on the server. Now copy manually all project files (scene and textures) into this folder.

Common tips:
Limit the length of all filenames and texture names to a maximum of 31 characters.
Use picture sequences instead of movies for animated textures. A Mac OS client that copes with QuickTime textures may not be able to cope at all with AVI textures.
Do not use PICT files for textures. Instead, we recommend TIFF or TARGA files.

If everything fails, please check with the support.

Dr. Sassi, I followed your steps and it seems to be rendering fine now.

Thank you!

Help from you with such a fast response makes my Cineversity subscription a bargain.

Thanks for the great feedback, TCG, very nice of you.

Have a great day

Sassi
