Using Blendigo with network rendering

[Levon]

Hi, ive recently started using Indigo, but have been using Blender for a while.

ive preaty much got my head around the Blendigo script, but i cant find anyway to use it in conjunction with Indigo's network rendering.
i already have the masters drive mapped on the slave node, but running indigo in slave mode never finds the server.

firstly.. is it possible?

if so, could someone tell me what settings i need?

thanks

heres master start script:
start /belownormal indigo.exe "default.igs" -n m

and slave:
start /belownormal \\Pxl666dell\dell_share3_data\data\works3d\INDIGO\indigo_v1.0.4\indigo_console.exe "default.igs" -t 2 -n s -h pxl666DELL:7777

and slave on remote machine:
start /belownormal /d \\Pxl666dell\dell_share3_data\data\works3d\INDIGO\indigo_v1.0.4\ indigo_console.exe "default.igs" -t 2 -n s -h pxl666DELL:7777

ofcoz u have to put correct paths (and pray)

I think the Blendigo script has changed a bit...

on line 1384

Code: Select all

	f.write("start /b /belownormal indigo.exe \"" + relpath(indigopath,filename) + "\n")

i tried changing it to

Code: Select all

	f.write("start /b /belownormal indigo.exe \"" + relpath(indigopath,filename) + " -n m" + "\n")

but it thinks the -n m is part of the file name and doesnt work.

whats the correct syntax for that line?

thanks for your help.

i think same... before (i guess before i downloaded indigo 1.xxx) my script was able to download textures and igs files without hassle and no copying them...i used to have igs and textures only on master machine and all my slaves were just downloading textures and igs from master. after i downloaded one of newest indigos/blendigos (not sure which one) this cool feature dissapeared...i tried to ask ppl but nobody knows what could have happened...but i think that something had changed in way indigo / blendigo "understands" paths...

Got it working. change line 1384 to:

Code: Select all

 f.write("start /b /belownormal indigo.exe \"" + relpath(indigopath,filename) + "\" -n wm" + "\n")

it will start it in working master.

ive just shared my Indigo directory on the net work, and make sure all textures are in indigo\textures and it works fine.

what i meant was that i didnt copy any files into indigo dir...i have multiple directories with textures and i find it inconvenient to copy inside indigo directory...as i said before - indigo WAS loading textures from master node even if they were placed outside indigo directory...

Thank you very much for pointing that out. This is a very helpful information.
