Title: Network Rendering Post by: Pat2E on July 04, 2014, 01:35:41 PM Hello all, wondering if anyone else had this issue and how to resolve it. I'm using Mandelbulb and I set up an animation with a background image. I saved the parameters, background image and animation parameters on a network drive. I start rendering the animation on the PC the I created it then go to my other PC, load the parameters and do a rendering and all looks good, background image appears fine. But when I go to render the animation on the second PC, the images that render on that PC do not have the background image. So half the images that are rendered on PC 1 have the background image but those rendered on PC 2 do not. How do I make the background image show up in the rendered animation images for pic 2?

A more detailed discussion is here : http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-3d/background-image/ Moving this to the appropriate forum...

And sorry about putting in the incorrect forum, I still don't know my way around here too good.
Title: Re: Network Rendering Post by: Sockratease on July 04, 2014, 11:09:32 PM No problems! This sub forum is admittedly hard to find. We just move things around as needed.
I hope that the background works out now O0 Title: Re: Network Rendering Post by: lenord on July 05, 2014, 04:43:48 PM Also don't forget that the names of the images used as BGs can not be more than 16 characters long or they won't load either |
