Hi,

I am trying to set up screamernet and I am having two problems. It seems to be working, screamernet finds the 2nd cpu and begins rendering, but it never saves the file. In my scene I have it set to save rgb targa files. When I try to screamernet render the scene, the node renders and then moves to the next frame without saving the file. I notice on the lwsn node it states a render time of 0.0secs. Also, I can't get the host machine to show up in the screamernet panel. I start the lwsn.exe on the host. It comes up, states my correct content dir, but It wont show up when I screamer Init.

I dont know what to do. I checked the config files and they look right. The plugins are pointed to the right space on the drive. I am following the tutorial that was in 3D World Magazine issue #29 2002 on network rendering. I am completely lost. Could someone please shed some light on this mess.

Thanks,

Wes

You must to point the network paths when save RGB (Render Options). Then save and render scene.
Also remote LWSN nodes must have ability to write files on host machine.

Thanks for the help. It was starting to drive me crazy.

You said that I need to point to the network paths when I save in RGB. I am not sure what I need to do for that. Can you outline the steps for that?

Thanks again,

Wes
