@alexlehnert @mattkapp @christopher_p @meken 1st feedback on Backburner. their TCP/UDP handling isn’t great. but it’s a nice “free” solution
@alexlehnert yea, no calm for me for the next 3 weeks. hectic frenzy is more like it. :/
@christopher_p well, Tractor is definitely a bit too much for our couple of machines. and for now Backburner is ok. Nothing fancy.
@meken had good experiences with Rush, Smedge, QMaster, Deadline and Pipeline.
@meken er. Backburner I meant.
@mattkapp na. unfortunately, it is only temporary. at least in this configuration. we had to rent a few extra machines & those are the farm.
@meken at the moment we are using Afterburn, because it comes with Maya. but I have good experiences with a few farm managers.
renderfarm setup finally done. now I’m happy. :)
@tobyx I got used to it already. hardly any sweat and brain working again. last week was tough though.
@NickLambert whistle not bad. yes, didn’t save much on mine. was an emergency buy. didn’t have time to collect the parts.
awesomely bad translation: bit.ly/bB8Xtn (thx @LSD_sakai) (via @shwood)
@shwood awesome!! that made my day! haha
@frankjonen the fact that they had to read something that actually makes sense might have thrown them off.
@NickLambert sounds similar to the machine I just ordered. :)
@christopher_p so I’m only talking half out of my ass. :)
@christopher_p just from the demos and from hearing feedback from a great photographer guy I know.
very impressive new HDR relighting and tonemapping solution — www.oloneo.com
@MasterZap so I’ve hear. you’ve earned it. enjoy.
@roscar mental ray is not my choice in this project. it gets dictated by the production.
@MasterZap disregard my last question. totally stupid user mistake. should check the texture paths before complaining that it doesn’t work.
@frankjonen was more thinking of Vidal Sassoon products making them savage, but your reasons work as well.
@frankjonen only got one word for you: hammock
@frankjonen ever wondered WHY they are savage in the first place?
@MasterZap with Maya 2011 & its dedicated displacement slot (which is how it’s supposed to work in Maya. there’s no misss_fast_skin_phen_d)
@MasterZap one more for you. any clue why my misss_fast_skin turns pitch black except for the specular component when I use a displacement?
