Indigo Renderer Forum

I just got done rendering my first serious render last night it went for about 7 hours with 4 computers but still isn't close to done. It crashed at 3:00 in the morning and I don't know how to continiue from last saved point. I have the png file of what it looked like at 3:00 but still dont know how to continue.

You need to render with IGI turned on, I believe. I'm not sure how that works in sketchup.

all you need is your igi file and the igs file. you can use the -r option when restarting indigo. gl!

also, there is a resume option in the skindigo drop-down menu under plugins... use that.

Sorry to bug you guys, I need to know how to resume a render as a NetworkMaster and same for the Slaves I have tryed so may different ways of typing out the command line but can't seem to get it to launch properly.

the slave machines don't require anything special in regards to getting them started, your typical network-slave startup string should work fine. the difference is the starting of the master machine in which you'll need to add the -r option. if you refer to the indigo manual it shows the string requirements for starting a resume render from the command line. then to enable network rendering add in the -n option. so, for example:

[master]
c:\indigo.exe -n wm -o z:\renders\awesomeness.png -r z:\renders\awesomeness.igi z:\igs\awesomeness.igs

[slave]
c:\indigo_console.exe -n s z:\igs\awesomeness.igs


z: is of course my shared network drive accessible by all network slaves.

hope this helps!
