hi,

the addition of the dirt map is pretty great. i just have a hard time setting it up the right way. as soon as an object gets smooth i get dark areas around my edges. is there a problem with my normals or is there something else i'm doing wrong?

unfortunately the content of the scene is convinced. i just had a friend write me a small script that let's me render sequences without using the batch render plugin (it just renders into the render view windoe and then saves the image). that seems to work for now. thanks for the help.

so i tried to render a kind of big scene from a ...

i already tried to do that. although the scene is in fact kind of massive i tried to use instancing to get rid of memory problems (at the moment i'm using about 1500 of my 2048mb gpu memory). like others i currently have the problem that my batch render just stops at a random point. i'm not even ...

hi,

since i ,like some other people, currently got problems rendering sequences with normal batch render, i wondered if anyone has experience with redering octane pictures over a render manager. i tired to render a file via deadline, but that always seems to switch the render engine to maya ...
