Hi guys,
I've been working on this and I'm starting to get the grip of it. Here are a few remarks:
- Maru's system: The big drawback of lowering local computer thread usage and letting the nodes do the hard work, has the big disadvantage of having the scene still loaded on the main computer, thus allocating the required RAM memory. This is quite problematic, since many of my scenes take most of the available RAM and make it quite impossible to keep working on another scene.
- TomG's system: Backburner seems like the best way to deal with this. BUT I loose the availability of the Corona Framebuffer and all the convenient options it has for post production (Bloom, glare, etc...). Rendered image is saved as an EXR and that's about it. I've tried saving as CEXR, but I get and "Error creating file output" message... Any way to deal with this? Would CEXR make it possible to load the image back in the framebuffer?
Thx for your help.
EDIT:
Trying to save CEXR with backburner just won't do anything. Job will be stopped and nothing will be rendered. I've seen a fix for batch rendered images (changing the extension after render is done) but it won't work with backburner since it doesn't render anything at all.
