Week 6
Renderfarm Log example
Almost halfway through the quarter! I have been professing along steadily, over the past week creating different elements for the composite. At the end of last week I decided to submit my file to the render farm to see the scene in motion but hit a major hiccup. The scene was taking a very long time to render each frame and would occasionally fail. Whenever the rendered frames were complete, I would check the folder and only my mater layer would be there. I checked the log files from the farm and it kept giving me an error for each of my layers saying it was not a part of the “Render Setup” which is the newer render layer system. I have almost 400 frames in my final animation so it is important that I can render through the farm or else I will have to dedicate the last day before the project is due to render.
New render setup layout
While this could be a negative I took it as a positive and decided to finally learn the newer render setup system. It definitely took some getting used to but so far I am enjoying it and it has allowed me to use the farm!
