blaisebundle Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hey guys, First of all, my knowledge of mantra is almost non-existent, I read through the docs and tried to find some related things to my problem, but only found unanswered topics. So... I got my own renderviewer where I want to send my data through a socket from Mantra. How can I render data through a socket? What kind of data does Mantra send? I'm looking for something similar to Arnold's socket driver, the source code is available for it so I know what kind of data is sent out.(3 phases, W/H, AOV names, pixeldata, etc) Even if these things are not implemented, any input would be most welcome. Cheers, Balázs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) ad 2. Take a look on $HH/public/tomdisplay/README.html for a tip on how mplay communicates with Mantra. ad 1. mantra renders to a socket via -y addr, afaik most natural would be to write own image format which streams data.
