jtiscareno Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 OK, this is sort of urgent 'cause I am right in the middle of finishing an animation. So if some ones knows please let me know, thanks in advance. The questions is, I am going to precalculate the lightcache map and then the IR map and save both of them to be used for final animation so it is a bit faster. I know that this can not be done thru backburner beacuse it has to be all done from one machine to save as one light file, but... would it work if I can send the lightcache or IR map file to one predetermined machine? It is thru backburner but it is only going to one server... The reason is that the small 4 machine render farm we have here is very good, those machines are twice as fast as mine so the 1/2 time is sweeeet. I would of couse check the save at render end to have a name and file location ready for the light file. Any comments.... the vray chaos forum is down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 yes, you can send the irr / lightcache to a single specified machine thro backburner....... you can also send the final animation thro backburner set with a dependancy so that it doesn't start until the relevant irr map has finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
