Will do kim,
I thought it was something like that so especially saved the scene at frome 1 -
it still has a problem! I will gladly try out your 'solution', although it is
nice having everyone running off batchserve, and to deviate kinda puts a
spanner in the rendering works!! Do you have any ideas on how to do this WITH
batchserve??? Also I did have a look at plotting, but did not see a quick way
of doing it - I plotted the rotaions of the bones, but they are still
constrained/connected somehow, and I cannot easily see how - gotta spend some
more time investigating!
Thanks anyway
Cheers
S.

the tail is based on springs and yes, they do rely on previous frames.
Plotting would be the only answer, other than rendering sequentially. If you
render sequentially then you'd need to be sure the scene was saved at frame one
, else you'll get a twitch as the frame counter goes from the saved frame to
frame one.
It's possible you could work around this using a script to render rather than
-r. I'm working on something that does this right now. If I get something
together this weekend that works I'll bung it over for you to test.

Subject: V4.0 Tail Not rendering correctly with Batchserve
Hi all,
I have used the tail in a dino that I re-rigged - coz I wanted to use the
new tail, now all is cool untill I need to use batchserve to render using our
small render farm - the tail twitches like crazy - obviously each render
machine is picking up a frame, and the tail is then calculated incorrectly
since the dynamics seem to be based upon the data from the previous frames in
real time i.e. playback - any way of getting around this, other than rendering
on one machine!!
Thanks
Sandy
