Hi all,
I have an interior scene. and whenever I try to use the new Bake only mode in order to render with my renderfam, I got a can render error!
Has somebody else experienced this? If yes, do you know how to fix it?

Bake only mode should be used on single computer not on farm. It's for saving GI to cached file like LW's bake radiosity mode.

just be careful on macs: it is crashing LW in the current version.

funny, i'm currently having issues as well under windows... does it just render out a less than 1k big gi file, like it does here?
btw., i've also tried to bake the 'traditional' way, same issue. 'update' and 'save' seem not to work well under certain conditions. i was able to bake with an other animation path from the same scene before - then i added a new camera animation and changed the name of the baking file for a new render session. since then, no way to get it out. even setting completely different paths for output did not help.
in any case, i'm investigating with jure on this... if you have any additional info, please let us know.
cheers

Ah Thank Marcus,
I am unhappy to have confirmation of this issue from another user :-/
Yes bake mode does not work under certain conditions… even on the same scene.
I cannot reply to your first question because I simply did not understand it.

first question was: here, at the end of the failed process, i'm seeing a .gi file with less than 1000 bytes of size at the path which is set in kray options. this file of course does not contain any useful data for rendering. do you get the same result?
