MAX VFB is Overriding Corona VFB on Render Nodes

[Charlie Nicols]

I am not sure how to change this but when we submit renders to our render nodes the Max VFB pops up not the Corona VFB.

I have tried copying the .ini file from a workstation that works fine onto our render node but that does not work.

I can't open max as our render servers do not have the graphical capability.

How can I get the corona VFB to appear?

I have tried copying the .ini file

That setting would be inside plugcfg\corona\SystemSettings-<number>.conf, not the .ini. Try changing the line "Int vfb.type  = native" to "Int vfb.type = wx" there.


Good Luck

I don't have that directory / file location?

Anyway I did a general search for that file in app data and it's already set to that.

Depending on your installation/setup that file is either in

"\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\<ReleaseNumber> - 64bit\ENU\<language>\plugcfg"  (if useUserProfiles=1 in InstallSettings.ini, the default)

or in

"<max_directory>\<language>\plugcfg" (if useUserProfiles=0 in InstallSettings.ini)

By "submit renders to our render nodes" you mean submission to backburner? If so, then check which user runs the backburner server and search for the file in the corresponding user profile.


Good Luck
