I'm trying to render animation on Kray 2.4, lw 10.1 - we have render farm and Render Pal,
when rendering starts on render Pal - scene is load, everything seems be okay

-plugins loaded
-scene loaded

but next step I've got error:
Input LW - Unable to read curent scene file ?

when I don't use kray and turn on Lightwave Rendering in render optuions scene is normaly load on renderfarm and render without any problems.

please help

maybe this is a problem i add on renderfarm to lightwave discovery Kray plugin, but plugin write during render : no kray license! so I decided unlock plugin kray with code on renderfarm node (lw - discovery)

what to do ?
in another post i see : check configuration directory ? what is that ?

You need to put kray_key.txt file in the same folder as your network LW configs files are.

OK now it is another problem with network rendering,

- if we compute scene on render farm without Kray - only in lightwave - everything is okay
- when trying to compute with Kray - LWSN crash !

if compute scene locally in computer with fprime scene kray rendering scene properly

have you got any ide what to do ?

It's LWSN bug. I can't do anything about it. It will be fixed in LW11 i've been told. You must use LW <10 on renderfarm to work with kray.
