Some newbie questions

[FeliceMente]

I'm new to Indigo, and just started testing it.

I have some questions:

1) Can I use it, someway, for animations?

2) When using the network render, can I set a queue of different jobs?

3) Is "lens radius" parameter, for the camera, equivalent to a real camera F-stop aperture, or wha?

4) can I render image with no dof (I mean, completely IN focus)?

Thanx

I'll try, in my own ignorant way...

1) Can I use it, someway, for animations?

Yes, but has to be done manually. (Tho the blender exporter has a button for exporting animations - just haven't tried it and don't know how/how well it works.) AFAIK, there's a way to set a time limit on a render in an ini file somewhere - not sure about this, tho.

2) When using the network render, can I set a queue of different jobs?

Not that I know of, ATM. However OS batch files/scripting is possible (along with the above time limit setting?) I would guess...

3) Is "lens radius" parameter, for the camera, equivalent to a real camera F-stop aperture, or wha?

I believe its analagous to lens aperture. Its actually been changed to "aperture_radius" in current versions, I think.

4) can I render image with no dof (I mean, completely IN focus)?

This should be possible with the proper aperture setting, just as in regular photography. Couldn't tell you what that might be, tho - perhaps others here have a better idea?
