Spring-op - rendering

Spring-op - rendering

I'm messing with jrewriting the -r frame loop script for some rendering
stuff I'm working on that does automatic frame distribution and I'm thinking
maybe, if there's a refresh on all the inbetween frames that aren't being
rendered then possibly we can get around this limitation. I'll try and find
the time to mess with it and if it does, I'll post findings.

Sorry guys - resending with the *URGENT* ammendment, coz it's, well
Urgent...

Quick one - how do you 'plot' the spring op ( tail from default quad rig)
for renedering a sequence across multiple machines (batchserve)?
