[Bf-committers] remote controll blender renderer renderfarm / queue

[Robert Grah]

Hey Campbell,

thanks for your answer.
It worked out quite well so far. Only two things are strange. 
The Python script gets started after the rendering and my commandline render result path gets ignored.
Any ideas how i can change this?


Seems that I maybee should start Blender in the background and let the python script do the other actions.

For open-movies we typically launch Blender with a Python script and 
pass extra command line arguments that the script can use (after 
"--"), see: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/6817 
 
The command line options are intentionally kept quite basic since 
there are so many things you *might* want to do, it doesn't make much 
sense to start exposing large parts of the Python API as command line 
args.
