What about - I just give this artist a 1-year license to use it in production. Maybe the coworkers will have a look over his shoulder or give it a try at some point (its a floating license). New features will also arrive in this time-frame. There are a lot of small things like filtering out Denoiser Elements, being able to use V-Ray + Batch Render, V-ray Color Corrections as Adjustment Layer, just entering "1-100" as Object-IDs you want and only those that are used in the scene will be in the file. Saving RAM when using psd-manager Mattes compared to Multi-Mattes. Not having to go to the Channels Tab to load a MultiMatte selection in Photoshop. So lots of small things that are not obvious from the website and 5 minutes using a trial. Daniel

Last day of the special trial. If you just want to test V-Ray Distributed Rendering easily. Just make sure Save File is checked in the Render Setup Dialog within your scene and V-Ray DR will work even without psd-manager being installed on the slaves.

I sent TChadail an updated version that should fix the problem. It was a bug only in this special trial. The 3D-Artist download has been replaced too - please download it again.

There is only one type of install via cebas product manager (Nicolas confuses this with psd-manager 3). On your DR slaves you need no license and don't need to install the license server. Just install the plugin via cebas product manager - done. You can use them for network rendering via Backburner or as V-Ray DR slave, Corona DR slave. No license is required - only the plugin needs to be installed. The message "License for this application/version not found, please request license" just means that the plugin connected successfully to a license server - however there was no psd-manager license available. Maybe you installed an additional license server also on the slave - this is not needed.

Hello everyone. TChadail - can you please send me your 3dsmax.ini file to mail@daniel-schmidt.biz - thank you. It is likely related just to this trial version. Was this the first time after the installation you added the render effect? (Edit: no - I see you posted a screenshot, sorry.) There are no known bugs causing a crash in the regular psd-manager 4.0.1. If anyone finds a bug please report them. Daniel
