protean Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hey, I've trying to do a kind of post process on mantra render. So far I can obviously submit a mantra render then a second 'render' using halo however.... is there anyway of being able to post process the render in mantra submission so I don't have to send the 2 renders to the farm whether automated or not? Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Ways of subitting to farms vary, but have you tried linking the output of your Mantra ROP to the input of your Composite ROP. When you render your Composite ROP, it renders the rops top down so that it will render your Mantra first, followed by your Composite.

You can point the rendering to a merge ROP that connected to multiple Mantra ROPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protean Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I see what you mean guys thanks.. The problem is we submit mantra jobs to the farm from IFDs. From what I can tell I would have to create IFDs then render the IFDs and then a third 'render' to process the Composite (in batch I would suppose). The third process is better done in Fusion for us as it wouldn't utilise hBatch licenses on the farm. I was hoping there could be a mantra process for this but it was a long shot Cheers John Edited November 12, 2009 by protean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
