Distributed rendering works again but

[GilG]

Hello,


DR works again in tyFlow v0.16035. Thanks for that !

Right now the best way to render is to cache and render the cache.

But as I'm working I would like to be able to render some frame.
If I try to render without a tyCache object I think that the other computers are stuck calculating the frames so they can render that one frame.


Is this wanted and/or do you plan to improve this ? 


Thanks !

Hi GilG,

I'm not sure I understand the problem you're having. Could you elaborate further?

If you mean that other computers must calculate the simulation up to the render frame themselves prior to starting to process buckets, then yes...that is the case, and there's not a way to get around that which I'm aware of. VRay sends the scene to other machines and frame information, but it is unable to send the internal state of the tyFlow's cache, so the other machines must compute it themselves.
