Cannot start network rendering

[Maluminas]

Im following these steps to try and start a network rendering:

http://www.indigorenderer.com/drupal/?q=node/7

but i get an error everytime. It says:

SceneLoaderExcep: failed to load XML doc from path 'ior_test.xml': Failed to open file Line 0, Column 0

I tried several xml files like ior_text.xml and metal_test.xml and scenes exported from Blender which all work just fine when i use the file name in the inifile.txt and use Indigo.exe by double-clic but they all do the same error.

Am i doing something wrong? Im using Indigo 0.5.[/url]

Ok i managed to get it to start...

I was writing: indigo.exe ior_test.xml -n m
But i needed to write: indigo.exe testscenes\ior_test.xml -n m

i found it myself but you should update the page in the link above, its not clear that you must enter the full path from where indigo.exe is. It might be obvious for a pro but not for a newb like me

Now i have another problem it starts but i get 0 muts/sec and it says not saving image with zeroed dimensions, or something like that... lol

It appears that you need to run a client on the master computer as well, if you want the master to do add in the rendering. I noticed this yesterday when I did my first network rendering tests.

Edit:
Something like this on the command line:

Code: Select all

indigo.exe somescene.xml -n s -h yourcomputername_or_IP:7777

[/code]
