ispep Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just curious as to whether it's possible to use the mantra command line to render over the network a sequence of IFD's. I can get this cmdline stuff to work but not hqueue, but it's just one image from a sequence, is there an obvious way around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsd Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If your machines on linux, you can use simple shell scripts like this: for ifd in *.ifd; do mantra -f $ifd; done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourfather Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) There's also the host argument for Mantra in case you want one machine to be the "master" that just farms out buckets. Though this is not as computationally efficient as each machine working on their own frame like HQueue or manually starting them on each machine. mantra -H localhost,slave1,slave2,slave3 -f foo.ifd Edited March 20, 2015 by lukeiamyourfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
