Johannes Saam Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hey! I have an hrender question. Is it possible to set off a render that does only render ONE driver in a tree? Lets say you have a mantra(1) node then a merge as its inputs and that merge has 2 more mantra nodes connected(2,3). if you send of (1) via hrender it computes all its inputs so (2) and (3) get sent off already. if i want to farm this, this i a little bit of a problem as i want to make sure that the farm respects those networks but also waits for each one to be finished to be able to chain up sims with renders. Now the problem is that the first node already triggers em all.... i could just disconnect them all in a renderfile... BUT thats ugly Can someone helpe me here... i guess i was hoping for the magic 'render only the specified driver' flag but that did not happen... any thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks Jo Hey, honesty I've never used hrender once, because all of this can be done with hscript/hython and custom scripts with greater control anyway. Also people hardly ever render from hscript itself (more often generating ifd first). Anyway, there is a flag "-s" for "render" command, the one which is invoked by hrender under the hood, and apparently it's not included in options. It switches off dependencies for rop drivers. If you insist to use hrender, you can easily patch it to include that option. See the attachment. cheers, skk. ps just 3 lines added. Look for "skk" annotation. hrender.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Saam Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hey! Thanks a lot! This is exactely what i needed! Either a flag for hbatch ... or that yes i know i should use hython... nd yes it was primarily for the ifd gen or simulations.... the rest is then dependant on the ifds... So is there any way people could share their setup on famr rendering? i am just starting to create one and dont wanna make the same misstakes other people have done before! Rock on jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
