Render requirementNot needed during rendering

engon does not need to be installed after its asset data is made local and external files are packed into the project.

Linked engon assets still depend on their source .blend files and textures. The publisher recommends converting datablocks to local data and packing external files before sending a scene elsewhere.

Alternate path: Keep assets linked only if every source .blend, texture, font, movie, and sequence travels with the project and all relative paths still resolve.

Scope:

The answer covers engon 1.10.0 asset placement and the publisher's documented render-farm workflow. Individual asset-pack features can have additional preparation steps.
