Custom UID

Closed this issue · 5 comments

I there any way to use a custom uid for a render?
A custom directory for the rendering to take place. Now you get to specify a workpath and then nexrender creates a random subdirectory in there, but is there any way to specify a name for this, so it can be worked with easier
Now I have to await onInstanceSpawn and then grab it from the job.uid there

Hey @KonkenBonken

Providing uid manually in the job definition should do the trick. :)

Where do I put that? @inlife
This don't work:

 render(json, {
            workpath: 'rendering/renders',
            uid: 'customID'
        });

In your json

Aah, thanks!
I'll try that :)
But how is that more logical than in the rendering options?

Well, settings are conceptually something relates to the instance that does rendering, while uid is purely related to a specific job. Does that make sense? :)
