REFRAMING THE INTERFACE: Rendering with Arnold... and it's Limitations

Rendering with Arnold on the University machines posed some troubles as both me and Jonathan were trying to bridge the gap between Cinema 4D and the Renderer itself.

After researching i came up with a plan that used Arnold's native frame format (an .ass file for each frame) and some software called Kick Ass GUI that would automatically take these ass files and render them, therefore bypassing the need for a 3D package and talking straight to the renderer.



The problem however was that both our machines and the university machines had trouble with licensing. As at the university the licensing server is just another PC in a room, if someone turns it off everyone's renders at the university would come out with a watermark and sometimes fail.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
