[Bernard] Well, one thing though it that at Action Synthese it did
FxTrees and scripts, and could do mr standalone if we had the
licenses.

[Bernard] Well, one of my full-time dutie, with my co-td there, was to
look in that specific aspect of render farming. For example, there was
a version of XSIBATCH that had a bug with skip rendered frame, so we
had to disable altogether on the farm.
There were a lot of weird things going on. For example, I had a scene
with a reference model containing instances that when rendered on my
machine, either in XSI or XSIBATCH, would render fine. But on the farm
it would render "invisible". I had the same XSI installed on my
machine as on the farm.... go figure. Things like that occured on a
dayly basis.
Cheers
Bernard
