    We have using flamenco in our studio for a few weeks and sometimes we have a few problems and sometimes we don´t. Now I'm struggling with 3 machines that are set to workers, but don't show up in the workers list anymore. They did once, but then, they displayed an error in flamenco manager, I removed them and never got them back to work. Any advise?

    does anyone know why my preview video wont render out? it gets through all the frames but always fails on that. any help will be greatly appreciated.

      Check the task log of the failing task. That should give you more info about what's wrong.

      I don’t think there is. You can create a file output node in the compositor however and save a second set of named images somewhere

    There doesnt appear to be any way to force the render clients to use GPU if the client machine that sent the file only has a CPU option.

    • @aegisgfx

      Sorry the issue was/is with the openImageDenoise. For some reason a 1050ti running on linux runs the denoise incredibly slowly, I can switch to optix denoise on the linux server and it runs super fast, but since I dont have a GPU on my workstation, I cannot even select that option. So if I want to send a file from a windows machine with no GPU to be rendered on the farm, I have to do it with no denoising which is annoying.

    • @DefyCGI
      @DefyCGI Месяц назад

      Yeah the pc you send it from needs to have gpu rendering selected

    • @aegisgfx

      @@DefyCGI Its unfortunate because the best reason to use a farm is if you have to work on a slow desktop comp with no GPU, I want the have the ability to drop that file off on the render farm and then go work on something else. Tying up my slow desktop with a render that will take hours is far from ideal. I continue to look for solutions to this problem.

    Is it possible to use compositor nodes with Flamenco and output multiple passes to a custom address?

    • @DefyCGI
      @DefyCGI Месяц назад

      Absolutely, I output multilayer exr files in the compositor. Use a file output node and you can set all the layers you need to render to whatever file path you’d like

      Sounds like it's potentially an issue with the blender file itself. Will it render normally without Flamenco?

      @@DefyCGI hey I'm having the same problem as the person above. - I've changed the blender file. It does render out normally - all of my workers are visible and awake - my shared storage is working - I tried absolute and relative save locations within my render file. I am also seeing this same error code when I run the worker program on my other system Something else you think I might have missed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

      You'll always have an address that's suitable for use on your network (otherwise your network wouldn't work). When you start Flamenco Manager, it'll log a bunch of different URLs for you to try.

      Check that the cache files (if you select the domain and click the physics properties, scroll down to cache) are also on your network storage with the project file. It should work if they are.
