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?

Assuming that by "Mandelbulb" you mean Mandelbulb3D, the background image must be in the folder specified in the ini directories tab, or it will not appear.

A more detailed discussion is here : http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-3d/background-image/


Moving this to the appropriate forum...

Thanks much for the reply Sockratease.  And sorry about putting in the incorrect forum, I still don't know my way around here too good.

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

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
