Anyone using Mule with 9.6? I am trying to set up a mini render farm for our project but without much joy.
The scenes do load into Mule, altho it puts up a warning as follows:
Object P:\KHUMBA\10000002 Objects/Character/Extra_B/Extra_B.lwo does not exist in the content directory!

And it will render the scene out perfectly, but it keeps re rendering the scene over and over again. It doesnt seem to recognise that the frames have been completed.
I'm saving out png s, but a test with tgas had the same result.
AFAIK, i have set up the content directories and configs correctly - its worked before for me, so I think Im doing it right.

Anyone had this problem before?
Cheers,
Mike

I get a similar problem when using Lightnet. The scene will render, but will be unable to verify that the frames are there, and so it tries to re render again and again. I can turn off the verification option to prevent it trying to rerender the "missing" frames, but then of course it will not render any real missing frames. Arrgggh
Im beginning to suspect its LW's image output saver plugin. I see that the actual plugins have changed in size since 9,3,so they must have been re written. Maybe that's the cause....
