Happy Birthday! Steve

Good job. I am glad to see you get going on this. Keep bringing it. Steve

Good for you David. thanks for all you have done for the community. Looking forward to your project! Steve

Thanks Robert! Gene thanks and looking forward to your finsihed animation Steve

We are back home but will have to move out one more time for 5 days as they finish the back area. I have missed the computer but it has been a good vacation. Looking forward to getting back. I thought I saw a thread on hair and settings in the last few days. Can anyone direct me to that? Steve

With the speed of your computer you can load in several instances of AM. Then select the prj and render only the section needed with each instance of AM. Pretty cool way of doing it. Do you have a dual core or quad core machine Steve

Paul both those are wonderful Steve

Nice. Reminds me of the brother in Heroes who can fly when he takes off Steve

Wonderful Will Steve

Excellent! Steve

Gene Looks great and I love Noah's outfit!! Keep going Steve

Well the restoration company has started moving our furniture back today. I will hopefully be up and running before the weekend is out or for sure by Monday. I have missed working on Cupids Sick Day and have used this break to refocus and get some final concepts completed. Steve

Thanks David for all the hard work. Looking forward to starting again. Steve

Happy birthday Steve Steve

Gene I am still out of my house should be back a week from Monday. I just wanted to check in on the status of this project? Steve

Excellent! Steve

Stefen This is wonderful news. I will update / upgrade willingly. Steve

Is it possible for a computer to have more than one IP address? If it had more than one network adapter? I asked Jason this and his answer not at this time. Steve

Net render is a client server based piece of software. The server sets up the project file to be rendered. It allows you to change all the settings and render output from the netserver. You then save those settings as a file to be rendered. Each one of the computers that will be rendering the animation will be the client and they will run netslave and rendermessenger. They are connected to the server via these pieces of software. From that point you drop a net salve into the rendering project from the pool of computers listed in netserver. Each frame is rendered my a individual computer in the pool. Once it completes the frame it goes to the net server and asked for the next frame to be rendered. This continues until the animation is completed. I still get a kick out of all the machines rendering at the same time. I would like it to upgraded to take advantage of multi core systems, but it would take a rewrite to recognize each core of the slave machine. Right now net salve recognizes the ip address of the slave machine as only one cpu. Anyway it is a cool piece of software! Steve

David Very nice! I like elephant dream and i dont think this should cause any issues. Steve

Thank you Robert!!!! Steve

My 7 year old has been after me for a year to do the mini figs. He will love this. Great work Stian Steve

I have also found hitting the space bar will refresh. Thanks Nancy I have not tried that! Steve

From what I understand Web render is dead. After talking with Jason they have continued to support Netrender since schools have needed this piece of software. I am glad since I will use it help render my projects. I have offered to help others as well. I am currently rebuilding my network after a water loss at my home. The new server is in and Jason advised me a new version of netrender will be available shortly. Once I have that I will rebuild netrender again. Steve
