  • Rendering sculpted objects with Team Render

    Posted by Sean Kimber on January 6, 2017 at 9:37 pm

    Hi,

    I’m trying to render out a couple of animations in which the model has been sculpted a bit. I baked the sculpt and deleted the sculpt tag. I also (in a troubleshooting test) deleted the materials that were created by baking the objects. However, whenever I try to render the animations on Team Render, it won’t render, giving the following error message:

    (Error) Render-Job failed: Several plugins used in this project are missing. Saving may cause loss of plugin data! Plugin ‘Pull’ (ID 1030505) Plugin ‘Inflate’ (ID 1030637)

    Does this mean that sculpting can’t be rendered on Team Render, even with the tags and materials removed? Is there some other spot I’m not thinking of to look?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best,
    Sean

    Hey,

    I’m still having this problem. I was wondering if anyone else has run across this and, if so, if they fell upon a solution. I can also upload the project if necessary.

    Thanks in advance!

    guessing by the “plugin inflate” I’d guess something is missing in the team render machine maybe reinstall the render client there. Not that that makes sense if you have removed everything – might have to see the project.

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for the response. It’s definitely weird, as there are 5 extra machines overall on the farm, all of which return this error. However, they work fine with anything else I render. Here’s a copy of the project. I went through again, just to be sure, and verified that there are no sculpture tags anywhere.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi,

    Sorry to be a nuisance with this. Just have to get the project out this week and am trying to get some faster renders. Has anyone had a chance to check out the project and see if there’s something I’m doing wrong? I did try to reinstall Team Render on one of the other render machines and it still returned the same error message.

    Thanks!
    Sean

    I tried a quick team render and got this warning “Error While Loading Project, Software and hardware renderings are not supported in Team Render”

    With a bunch of missing images I’m not getting the right look probably (and I had to change the TR settings to not fail on missing textures) but it’s rendering fine with Standard renderer probably with Physical as well.

    I’m sorry. I purposely didn’t put in the added textures so I could keep the file small. Also, I forgot to change my render settings in the file I provided. I had changed to a hardware render on my computer so that I could get a quicker render for preview purposes, but it wasn’t working in Physical or Software modes either. But if it’s working for you, it must be some sort of technical problem on my end. I’ll try to troubleshoot. Thank you very much for all of your help!
