I've released a new version of Multiblend! Version 1.3 has the following improvements over the previous version:

  • Added possibility to select the scene to render.

  • Added nice level to the config possibilities.

  • Added possibility to skip node testing.

  • Fixed chunk size bug when number of nodes is larger than number of frames to render.

  • Fixed encoding bug when stdout is not a terminal.

  • Start 'sh' immediately on the node. This prevents 'last logged in on ...' messages upon login, and thus improves compatability with different systems.

  • Added echoing_node to the config possibilities.

Multiblend connects to multiple computers on your network, and lets Blender render in parallel on each. This will drastically improve your rendering speeds!
