[RELEASED] Multiblend version 1.3 released - distributed rendering

Coding Python Support
1

I’ve released a new version of Multiblend! Version 1.3 has the following improvements over the previous version:

  •    Added possibility to select the scene to render.

  •    Added nice level to the config possibilities.

  •    Added possibility to skip node testing.

  •    Fixed chunk size bug when number of nodes is larger than number of frames to render.

  •    Fixed encoding bug when stdout is not a terminal.

  •    Start 'sh' immediately on the node. This prevents 'last logged in on ...' messages upon login, and thus improves compatability with different systems.

  •    Added echoing_node to the config possibilities.
  [Multiblend](http://www.stuvel.eu/multiblend) connects to multiple computers on your network, and lets Blender render in parallel on each. This will drastically improve your rendering speeds!

nice! i have 90 CPUs at my school :smiley:
maybe you could add a little interactive shell script that lets you set the default values for every node because I don’t want to write 90x4 lines in a configfile
of course, the IPs have to be typed in manually but that should not be a prob because they are like ...1, ...2…
what about it?

Ever think about using Python to create your config file? This is a classic scripting language task. Manually typing in IP addresses, bah!
