New to Arnold but I appear to have my AOV passes and obj mattes all rendering and saving nicely in a layered EXR yet when I'm working locally, yet when I try to use Team Render all I get back is a main beauty pass and an alpha.
Can someone help with what i'm missing here please!
Thanks guys, looks like I might have been falling over then with both trying to render one test image and also attempting to use the native render settings. I've had to streamline my output in light of hitting a deadline anyway but I look forward to getting this working soon.
You can render AOVs with Team Render, you just have setup the AOVs for the <display driver> and save a Multi-Layer EXR in the render settings. That should work.
Peter, I am a little bit confused here. We do this all the time - use team render with arnold drivers. Typically we either do not enable save at all in the render settings, or we use the Arnold Dummy, in the case of using Render Queue.
I'm not sure if this applies to distributed still frames, but unless I'm seriously mistaken, Arnold Drivers do seem to work for team rendered sequences. Could you please clarify?
Right, sorry I was not clear. So the Arnold drivers are processed on the client machines. If you specify the path properly (valid on the clients) then they work with sequences. But not with still frames, because they render only a part of the image on each client.
Ah ok. So I can't render AOVs with Team Render? What a shame - i guess production houses just send their scenes to farms then?
Wait, the Arnold drivers are not supported in Team Render. You can only use the native (Multi-Pass Image) Save in the render settings.
Ah thanks dude. Yeah, i'm using R.19 and Arnold 5. Have been using 'file from render settings (multipass)' and multi layer exrs - tried a different settings and variations but was chasing my tail...
It should work fine, no extra setup is needed for Team Render. What's your Cinema 4D and C4DtoA version? I'll take a look tomorrow if I can reproduce it.
