I put together a scene and grabbed an old model from the archives that gives me an error of:
Several plugins used in this project are missing.
Saving may cause loss of plugin data!
Plugin ‘Dirt’ (ID 1011136)
This is not an issue when I am working with the file or when I am rendering from just my machine, however, when I try to use team render, none of the other machines will render any of the frames.
Doing some research, I found that this plugin is left over from early versions of C4D and has been replaced by AO. I went through all of the materials and could not find any “Dirt” shaders and I went through the render settings and there is nothing in there labeled “Dirt”. I found a topic discussion where someone wrote a Python script to remove it, but when I try to run it there are syntax errors (I am just copying and pasting).
Since the render time on one machine is 26 hours, I would really like to get rid of the plugin issue and utilize the other five machines.
Thank you for any input
