After the release of a few more processors, the remote rendering could actually be finished. Well, actually, all of the files I had que’d up have been executed. It’s just a matter if I have anything else I can send through the Render Rocket system. Sometime in the next week or two, I’ll need to go pay them a visit or ship a hard drive to collect those image files. I have the option to download them, but that would be a huge amount of data to send over the internet (1920×820 by 16bit). An external hard drive transfer makes much more sense.
All in all, I pushed 40 something shots through their computers. It finished up really quickly. Gotta love that. I’m still rendering here on my setup and could be for quite a while longer. There are some files that would of been difficult or not possible to render remotely because of their reliance on Maya fur.
Tomorrow, I’ll look through the remaining 6 shots that need to be rendered and see if I can slice them up in a way that at least some of the non-fur portions can be doneĀ at RR. That would alleviate some of the pressure here and speed things along. We’ll see.
