Re: [Xgrid] Need some questions answered for the BlenderXgrid project.



If you are OK with a GUI solution, you might have a look at GridStuffer:

http://cmgm.stanford.edu/~cparnot/xgrid-stanford/html/goodies/ GridStuffer-info.html

I am currently testing a newest version that uses an updated version of my GridEZ framework (that encapsulates a lot of the Xgrid stuff and more), and I will probably release that next week if all looks good. It is all open-source, so you can (easily?) modify it to your liking...

You may of course contact me directly if you have questions about GridStuffer. (hint to anybody that sends me emails: not sure how fast I will answer, but I will eventually answer; not that I get tons of email, but I am slow).

I've been using Xgrid locally with blender for a couple years, but finally saved up enough to purchase a copy of OSX-Server to play on my old PowerMac to use a controller. The idea is create a community renderfarm for Blender 3D (an opensource 3D animation program). During the preview release (which I still have a copy of the Xgrid.app file that came with that) had a "Custom Plug-in" setting.

In the current Xcode developers tool kit there is the Xgrid Feeder example (previously Xfeed in Xgrid.app). When we attempt using that has our default GUI interface, it just passes the command and argument along. We need it to also pass the file.blend to the agents as well. When blender is called on an agent machine we get a "NO CAMERA ERROR: FILE CANNOT BE LOCATED" meaning the file is not being sent, it is looking for the file.blend locally on the agent machine.

My first instinct is to try and modify the feeder example code from Apple, but that's going to take some time as I come from a PERL background in server scripting and have to figure out all the files and such in XCode. So any ideas and or pointers would be extremely helpful.

Thanks.
