Batchserve & scene refresh 2004-03-24 - By Fabrice Altman
Back Hi List,
We experienced 2 problems recently where different scenes submitted on batchserve had refresh problems on constraints and shape animation :
1/ direction constraint on eyeballs :
There was a small but visible jitter on the eyeballs of a character from one frame to the other. It was difficult to detect if a specific client was responsible for this but I don't think so. Rendering the scene locally solved the problem.
2/ shape animation on curves (with geometry cluster-constrained on them):
We have 2 different models that contain shape animation on curves. When rendered on batchserve they both experienced refresh problems meaning for a lot of frames the shape-weight was ignored and the frame rendered as it was 0. All clients randomly did this, sometimes rendering correctly, sometimes not. Again, rendering the scene locally solved the problem.
When a scene is acting as expected in the GUI it is difficult to anticipate and trouble-shoot what is going to happen when submited on the rendefarm. Is there a way to force the refresh of a scene when loaded ?
Cheers, F.
