hiho

the managersoftware for my farm is not able to pipe the renderprogress generate by -stdout
can the new release/update of MXW flushing the buffer regularly each line or using unbuffered output insteat of I/O?
that whould help a lot

and of course a commandline to merge MXI together !

futhermore
a command to deactivate write MXI and RGB to disk during the render
(I know the risk of loosing data but write a 2gb file to disk each SL update)
switch -hd:off not working

coop mode render
I whould love to see a info about the reached SL if all MXI are merged together
its a pain to "display" a 3000x4000 px image with ML just to see the current SL
rendering the same image in 30x40px to mxi generates the same SL if I merge them together
so why not writeing 2 mxi to disk during the render
one master MXI in 1:1 and a small one to update the SL more faster and easy

If rendering using a farm, you can check co-op even if its on one server. It'll only write the MXI file at the end, instead of over and over while it renders.

It still writes each one to the local disk.

Oh, I forgot it puts files in the local temp. My company had issues with mxi files saving over the network constantly and slowing things down, so we created dump folders on all the local drives where we write the MXI files.

Hi!

Can I just re-iterate a need for a commandline merge MXI option? this would make the whole co-op thing much more vesatile!

Hi all,

i just wanted to know, did anybody ever receive an answer from NextLimit, whether such an improved command-line set will be available? I'd also be interested in a way to grab the -stdout output? How come this is not possible currently? Or if yes, exactly how?

Cheers
