Joel, look at the maya-mr template. You need to write a regular expression that extracts a floating/integer value on a line basis from the log:

SET SUBFRAME_ADVANCING_STRING “.*(rendering statistics).*”
SET SUBFRAME_PROGRESS_STRING “.*progr:\s*(.*)\%\s*rendered on.*”

The subframe_advacing captures the end of a frame, the progress string , the progress

scheduled

Swag,

Try to run Muster with a local batch render command, after logging in using the same account of Muster and watch if it works. You may need to initialize something on a user level…or you may miss some system-wide environemntal variable.

Could you explain better what you mean with “stops working?” What kind of feedback do you get ? Have you tried to open the realtime log and watch if there’s some activity ?

no, we dropped the support of Irix as a render node.

You may have some conflict. The error code 85 from the windows here means:

The local device name is already in use.

That means you already have S mapped somewhere else. This may happen if you have automatically map activated and your jobs still embeds a path different from the one you configured statically !

Why not

When you use a distributed batch render, you cannot compare it with the time of a local batch render inside Maya. Each time you render a packet, you need to add the time to launch Maya, load the scene and prepare the render. When rendering fast frames, you should increase the packet size to send a bigger amount of frames to the same host and reduce those “warmup” times,
