I am an Artist who knows "some" technology. I would like to try this script but I am having trouble getting it working. I would be running it on linux and windows machines. How should the acutal command(s) look for running this script? Here is the syntax for launching both the server and client blenderdist: python blenderdist.py --server PORT JOBDIR RENDERDIR python blenderdist.py --client HOST PORT I'm not sure what to enter for the "--server", "--client ", "PORT" "JOBDIR", "RENDERDIR" or "HOST"parts of the script. :-) Is an example of a working command(s) available? Can someone post what a "real/working" set of these commands look like. This should also be added to the script. If I could see what two "actual/working" server and client "launch" commands look like I can figure out how to make this work. I would love to test it out on my 4 node linux render farm.

How should the acutal command(s) look for running this script?

Here is the syntax for launching both the server and client blenderdist:

python blenderdist.py –server PORT JOBDIR RENDERDIR
python blenderdist.py –client HOST PORT

I’m not sure what to enter for the “–server”, “–client “, “PORT” “JOBDIR”, “RENDERDIR” or “HOST”parts of the script. :-)

Is an example of a working command(s) available? Can someone post what
a “real/working” set of these commands look like. This should also be added
to the script.

If I could see what two “actual/working” server and client “launch”
commands look like I can figure out how to make this work. I
would love to test it out on my 4 node linux render farm.

Thanks

Because we need all the CPU's we can get, we've ported the script so that it works in Windows as well as Unix variants. We will post details at our blog.
