Hi all,
I've not had much luck trying to get network rendering working on OSX so I've been trying to render the same scene on different machines and then manually merge the resulting MXI files. However on my first attempt the MXI files will not merge because they all have the same idcpu (set to 0). I was under the impression that this value was set randomly and that I should not have tweak it.
My workpath is this:
1. Model scene and add textures using FormZ.
2. Export MXS file using FormZ plugin.
3. Open MXS in studio and use pack and go to save all relevant files into one folder.
4. Copy folder to all nodes and start renders on each machine.
5. Attempt to merge resulting MXIs.
Also, 'Resume Render' does not seem to checked by default when I run MXCL. How can I change this so that it is always checked?
Any help on these matter would be really appreciated. I almost missed a big deadline today and I would like to avoid scares in the future.
Cheers,
Nik
