Hi,
if I render some scenes with hair material I get correct results with Local Renderng on Windows. 4SP6b
If I render it on an online renderfarm running on Linux I get this INF and NAN (white and black) pixels.
What is the easiest trick to limit all levels that this can't happend.

And why is it different on Linux?


Thanks
Tom

Hard to say. Does the online render farm run on the same version ?

It shouldn't be different on Linux.

Cheers

Yes it's the same version SP6b on Conductor.
It's perfect on windows, even with other lower SP's

Hi,
in the image you see the difference, both scenes are exactly the same.
Maybe it has something to do with the spec level which gives this INF information on Linux.

If I replace the hair material with standard diffuse material, then the problem didn't appear on Linux.

Did you texture the inputs of your hair materials ? If so, try to add a clamp before each input that is textured and let me know if that fixes your issue. The best way for us to debug is to have your scene with all the files.

Hi,
yes there is an extract property with white hair attribute and a gradient for hair albedo input.
I will try to clamp and check again.

Thanks

It's not possible to ensure you'll get the same renders on different platforms. We rely on some libraries that themselves relies on system libraries. For example, the EXR or OCIO libraries or even Clarisse math library don't necessarily interpret floating point data the same way on linux than on windows. Behavior of the software highly depends on the compiler and the underlying libraries. This is why it is never recommended to setup a scene on Windows and render on Linux or macOS.

Have you also tried on CNODE/windows? Maybe that's a configuration file issue too.

Hi,
working with clamping node gave me the solution at least.
