Hello all,
1) I would like to get ScreamerNet configured and running. A few questions I have are;
After all the RBG frame files are created, what utility/software do you use to put all the images together into an AVI file?

2) I take it that if I use this network rendering tool, I will not choose the option in the Render panel to save an animation, but rather save RBG files, is this correct?

3) Though Lightwave supports XP and W2000, can I use a Win2003 Server as a rendering node?

4) Can Lightwave be installed and run on a Windows 2003 Server? not sure if W2003 Server is comparable to W2000 Workstation or XP Pro enough that it can be installed and run on it.


thanks in advance for any help.
Paul

Hey Zippa; There is a great resource for what you want to do in Dan Ablan's book Inside Lightwave 8 It gets started from the beginning and believe me there is a lot of information you need to know! Things such as What kind of animation, what format , camera settings all the way through to setting up a reneder network and the nodes you use. There is much to know and I'm not sure if there is another "one stop source " for your needs, but this tops my list !:p
