Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting to enable Quick Access Buttons in the add-on preferences.
  • Not running a test render before full farm submission, which could lead to unexpected results.

Recommended Workflow

  • Open the scene in desktop Blender, run any interactive setup steps, save the file, then validate a small background render before scaling up.
  • Run a small local background render or one short farm test before full submission.

Worker Node Setup

For render farm administrators: what each render node needs to run this add-on.
