Hey guys,?Looking for a little guidanceWe are using Vray in Maya 2014 with no issues. ?In our environment, I am using a network path for our Maya plugins, and using Vray docs to get the plugin to work via the network
http://help.chaosgroup.com/vray/help/maya/150R1/install_from_dir.htmI can successfully load Maya and choose the Vray renderer, and render locally in Maya with no issues, The problem arrises when we use deadline, and it launches Maya from a network path as well, but for some reason always errors out and says
0: STDOUT: Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : S:/resources/_Additional_Plugins/MAYA/Plugins/vrayformaya.mll0: STDOUT: The specified module could not be found.0: WARNING: Strict error checking off, ignoring the following error or warning.
0: STDOUT: Error: line 1: The specified module could not be found.0: WARNING: Strict error checking off, ignoring the following error or warning.0: STDOUT: Error: line 1: The specified module could not be found.
However, with all the same environmental variables, I can load Vray on the same system the deadline slave is launching, and get vray to work. The only difference is that I am launching Maya from the network in deadline as opposed to the local box when working locally.

If I manually go to the location of Maya batch and launch, Itll load the Vrayformaya.mll and sit at the Mel prompt. Any ideas?

Andrew,Basically the below is what ended up using,What I had forgot was to add the location to the vray/bin directory into the PATH env var.After that all was savvy.

Hopefully it is just the environment. Can you run a
"set" command through deadline or otherwise get a dump
of the variables and values?
More Information
I have a lot of experience configuring and deploying
VRay. It requires a number environment variables to work
correctly. Make sure you have all of them set before
rendering. Most of the time I am seeing errors like that
are related to the vray variables not being set. It's
possible as well that your network version of Maya has
not had all the changes that VRay likes to apply when
installing.
My Setup
Here's an outline of my setup in case it is useful.
My studio needs to change vray versions frequently.
Getting each version to work is just a matter of setting
up the environment correctly. This is a dictionary from
my config tool wherein BASE represents the path to the
vray version that will be run.

If you call Edwin at Thinkbox you can easily do server side command returns like the aforementioned "set" to check the render user's env

Deadline launches under the current logged in user.In this case, its me, the domain admin so I have rights all around.I can verify deadline launches under my username but still bombs out.
check the user under which the app is running.
if it's running as a service (i think vray slave/sat does that or can do that) then it likely doesn't have authentication on your filer (user likely does).
if you don't have a directory service proper with your NAS integrated then you will have to do it manually/fake it/make the accounts manually synced up
