cooperunionstud@aol.com Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi guys I am trying to render scene with growfx on the render farm on backburner. I have the latest version of backburner installed. the scene renders fine on the machine with the activated license both locally and on the farm. however after I installed the growfx render node version on the render nodes (there are six nodes) I cannot render the scene and have been getting the error "the pipe has ended" error. Is there a fix for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi cooperunionstud@aol.com, I looked at your account and noticed that you've downloaded GrowFX Rendernode 1.9.8 SP2 and GrowFX Full 1.9.8 SP3, but instead you need to install the both latest versions. Please, try to update your GrowFX Rendernode version... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperunionstud@aol.com Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 thanks for the quick reply. I tried installing the latest growfx rendernode 1.9.8 sp3 . however during backburner rendering, its asking for activation. Do i need to activate the render node software?

Eduard Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Do i need to activate the render node software? No, maybe you've installed the full version? Please check the installation folder (C:\Program Files\Exlevel\GrowFX_3dsMax_2014\), it should contain only the files GrowFX_RenderNode.dlo, EL_Helpers.dlo and possibly other files. But there should NOT be GrowFX.dlo! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperunionstud@aol.com Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 thanks, i deleted the growfx.dlo and its working, maybe this is a feature, if you were to install both the node and the actual software, there should be some kind of override....

doncht Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sorry to bump this up but I was just looking for a confirmation. Is this already fixed with the latest release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes, it's fixed in GrowFX 1.9.9 Beta. Now installer checks for the GrowFX_Rendernode.dlo file, if this file exists, it will be removed. Also, for both versions (Full and Rendernode) used only GrowFX.dlo, so this file will be replaced during the upgrade... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
