Using On A Render Farm
What render farm submitters need to know before sending jobs.
We could not inspect this add-on's code. Install it on your farm workers and run a single-frame test job before committing to a production render.
Scene Prep Checklist
Complete these steps before uploading your scene to a render farm.
- 1
Install the same add-on version on every render worker
Required - 2
Run a 1-frame test render on the farm before full submission
Recommended
Things To Watch Out For
- Do not assume background-render compatibility until you test the add-on in a local headless render.
Common Mistakes
- Not saving interactive setup steps into the .blend file before rendering.
- Missing the exact add-on build or required asset bundle on workers.
Recommended Workflow
- Install the exact same add-on version locally and on workers before rendering.
- Open the scene in desktop Blender, run the documented setup steps, save it, then test a one-frame background render before scaling out.
Worker Node Setup
For render farm administrators: what each render node needs to run this add-on.
Conservative default: assume workers also need the same add-on version installed unless you have verified the scene renders correctly after baking or converting the result to native Blender data.
