string ops

Jonathan de Blok · 2014-01-06

Great, shaved a few hours of my IBL render sequence!

btw, in max 2014 there is a string ops entry in the rendersettings, would be nice if that got populated with the actual strings so network rendering would make use of the ops as well.

I had to write a script that reformats the output from the listener into something I can paste in that input field.

Other render managers

tronotrond · 2011-12-14

Great plugin, thanks!

I guess it's a bit tricky question, but would it be possible to get it to submit to other render managers? We just changed to Deadline at work which has its own submission script.

hot chip · 2011-12-16

Hi Tronotrond,

i have not test with your Render Manager, but i think it must work, because i use only the CallBack Strings, and that must work with other Render Manager. What does not work?
