[Bf-committers] Trusted blend files and scripted drivers bug and annoyance

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

I'm also having problems with students in the simple case of a #frame
driver in cycles seed. I can never be sure they all have the enable python
setting on in all the computers they use even if I tell them to enable it,
this stuff is just never guaranteed in the real world because people forget
this stuff. Of course renders turn out useless because of fixed noise.
