Things To Watch Out For
- Do not assume background-render compatibility until you test the add-on in a local headless render.
Common Mistakes
- Not saving interactive setup steps into the .blend file before rendering.
- Missing the exact add-on build or required asset bundle on workers.
Recommended Workflow
- Install the exact same add-on version locally and on workers before rendering.
- Open the scene in desktop Blender, run the documented setup steps, save it, then test a one-frame background render before scaling out.
