Title: Corona Standalone not exiting
Post by: rgags on 2014-08-06, 20:02:19

I am trying to render using corona on my farm using the standalone renderer. I have a limit on the number of passes for each scene file. The slave machines start rendering the scene and continue to do so until the maximum number of passes is reached; however, the renderer does not exit after the max number of passes is reached, it just hangs around until the user closes it. This is a problem for me since the machines are remote. Is there a way to get the renderer to exit after it's completed a frame? Or any other work around to this problem? Note: this is not an issue for the Corona render for 3ds max for me.

Thanks

you need to set the vfbType in .conf file to 0 (export from max with VFB set to None to see the exact syntax)

I have a similar problem rendering from Blender on a single machine. It hangs whenever I try to stop it after 2 minutes. Need to end process in task manager. Could it be same?
