Omar Domenech’s Demo Reel

[Omar Domenech]

@theluthier I’ve got  couple of questions:

– What’s the ratio of spending / gaining points? Do you render other projects a lot just so when you want to render yours points get sucked away pretty quickly you can’t really render all that much?

– Where does the render Tif files land? I thought they were going into the Drive Folder as the output path points there.

– It would be good to see a preview of the rendered frames to see if there’s some kind of mistake and stop on time and points don’t get wasted. Is there a way to preview?

– What determines how points get used? is it the render time of the file? meaning if I render 5 frames with 256 samples and the same 5 frames but with 1,000 samples, the fact that it will be more time to render means it will cost more points?

– Why are your personal points getting spent and not the team as a whole?

@theluthier I’ll be ready to help as soon as I get home from work.

@theluthier yes and put your name in

I didn’t think the iMac’s from work would render the scene because in the .blend it is set to GPU and these iMac’s only have CPU, but it seems Sheepit is smart enough to change it in Blender somehow. They are rendering away, that is cool.

@dostovel Darnit, Omar!  I’m not able to help as I’m away from my workstation.  Next time.

[Omar Domenech]

@silentheart00 You mean you get time away from your workstation… [starts rethinking his life]

@theluthier ok this is weird. I had sheep-it on and it said there were not projects available while on the website several projects are waiting. So I guess my limited pc isn’t picked for rendering. Perhaps after the new video card is available

[Omar Domenech]

@sheila5 I had a similar experience, my laptop at my house isn’t picking up Kent’s project, even though I have render my team first enable and my laptop has a GTX 1070 video card in it. Come on Sheepit, what is going on.

[Omar Domenech]

Computers at work are not rendering the project either, yet yesterday they were. The only common denominator I see is that when the computer were rendering the project, Kent was online. Maybe the person who posted the project has to be online for the “render my team first” thing can take effect? That would not be cool if that is the case Sheepit.

@dostovel sometimes frames need to long to render. If sheepIt notize that tha project will be frozen till you render 1 frame by your self. I have never troubles by rendering with sheep it. If you have trouble you can go on https://discordapp.com/channels/253355867938750485/301912419368697856 . The admin answers very fast and can take a look whats going wrong on your render.

[silentheart00]

@dostovel Well, this is a mildly unwilling departure, but temporary.

[Omar Domenech]

@cruento It might not be a bad idea to talk with the admins, though my tech jargon talk is quite bad. I’m not very tech savvy. 

I was poking around in Sheepit and I saw it has a list of things waiting to render. For the scene it says “Not enough free memory” So that is why it is not rendering the scene, but why does it say that? the iMacs clearly have enough RAM to render the scene out since rendering the scene is 4.9GB of Ram and the iMac’s have 16GB Ram allowed to use. I do not understand the inner workings of Sheepit very well. 

[Philipp Bauer]

@dostovel you are right, there are so many possibilities, yesterday I can’t render it, but today it works fine.

[sheila5]

@dostovel when i turned down the amount of memory dedicated for sheep-it it gave me that message too.That leaves me turning on sheepit only when I don’t need the pc at all. Because you can’t even type a message with this lag. will probably be better when i have the new video card

[sheila5]

I do think Kent has to be online for the project to be available for rendering. But yesterday he was online and it still didn’t come first
