Net Rendering to Texture
Please bear with me:
I've done a LOT of searching, reading, trying and failing. I've really honestly tried to find a solution but have been having one hell of a time with things. My goal: I have a scene (and subsequent scripts) that contains thousands of objects and when I press "go" it merges, unwraps and renders texture maps out for each of these new objects. This works great locally! I do however have a workaround for some render issues in the baking process like:
I don't know if this is going to - or is currently - cause me grief but, I want to have the script submit the ~60 individual bakes to the render farm, ideally as individual work orders, or groups of work orders - if that is easier. What I've tried and is failing for one or more reasons:
So my next logical guess was: "How can I render to the farm if I am not currently connected to the manager?" Duh, I know. So using the appropriate connections I cannot get any of the above to work within the framework of my connecting to a manager, gaining control of said manager and then trying to submit a render. Based on the documentation I can't find a way to submit a RTT item to the farm, otherwise I would do my best to define this in the job settings. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance! If more code is required, please let me know. |

I've seen it done before, but we were using Brazil to bake lightmaps from Max to the render farm and back.
I know that it was a pain in the ass/ broke often though. I keep hearing, and have experienced issues with the Network Render stuff for max. They need to completely redo that structure imo. |

Is there any way to send a job to the farm that runs Max in workstation mode?
I've discovered that there is a large difference between what Max will do with scripts based on slave mode or workstation mode. Is there any comprehensive source for these shortcomings, or any other work arounds? |
