Son of a Batch: Cannot view batch rendered images 2005-06-27 - By Sandy Sutherland
Back
You are rendering a scene on a path that your Render Machines can see, but
your server running batchserve cannot - I have had that here before - I did
a personal project that I had stored on my area on our Samba server, all the
render machines log in with my log in, so they can see this area - silly me
forgot that the Batchserve server logsin with the admin login so couldn't -
it did render fine, but the batchserve server obviously needs to see the
pics to be able to convert them to jpegs to display on the web page!
