OK
I know you are all dying to answer this question, so, here it is.
I just got an addtional A2000. It is identical in hardware and software to my
current A2000 with one exception. The old A2000 has a GVP 030 - 12 meg RAM,
and the new A2000 has GVP 040 - 20 meg RAM. They are ParNeted and WaveLinked.
I had no problemo getting the WaveLink started on the Host (New A2000), and
both LW programs began rendering. The output was directed to the PAR (Only on
the old (A2000).
Oh! I was so happy to have two machines rendering this mondo big, refractive,
crystaline scene I was half way through rendering.
Well, two days later, I came in and it had crashed, even though I waited around
for a little while before leaving. The 20 or so frames it had rendered to the
PAR (220 to 240) had the dreaded Squiggle, flip, jerk in it at the end.
And worse, the PAR would lock up after playing the Anim.
WHAT GIVES?
Is it the differnt speeds at which the two GVP accellerators are rendering, and
, therefore, not imparting the frames in the correct order?
Oh, please, help.
I want to use these two machines together for greater rendering power.
BTW, I had a query about the settings for a realistic crystal surface awhile
back. Didn't get a responce. That is OK, I have had responces on other items.
But, after working awhile, I have an excellent crystal surface. The settings
can be a little unorthodox, but some may not be aware of the possibilties. If
there is an interest I can post what I done, or upload object to Tomahawk site.
Or, I see that LW Pro has a refractive acticle in the upcoming October issue,
and we can just wait.
Thanks A Gigabyte in advance.
