Octane - Batch Queue Blender 3.6.1

protovu opened this issue a year ago · 5 comments

I am a Blender/Octane user, and I Love Loom! It has been working great in 2.9x.
I am doing my My first render with 3.6.1 seems to be going, but initially I tried doing a Batch.
For the first few trials of Batch, I was having failures. Now....all of the sudden, Batch is working?? Or so good so far for the first file in the Batch...fingers crossed.
Thank you for this great Addon!

If helpful, I was seeing the following for the fails:

and this:

Hi @protovu,

thanks for your report. Have you already tried to start Blender as administrator, as mentioned in my other answer to your previous issue? Please see: #59 (comment)

Please keep me posted and let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Christian

Answer 2 · 2023-10-08T15:04:17.000Z

Hi Christian,
Well, the Batch seemed work correctly despite the initial snags. Apparently, both Blender and Octane were not "running as admin".
A test this morning shows that following an initial quick cmd page which shows

Loom does actually proceed.
Upon "running as admin." the same "Warn" page presents, but again, things seem to work.
Thank you for the quick response again,
Rick

Hi @protovu,

great!

Well, the Batch seemed work correctly despite the initial snags.

Based on the provided errors, I guess you forgot to restart Blender. As mentioned in the documentation, you have to save your user preferences and restart Blender after the installation because the add-on is not yet activated at this point for the new instance of Blender which called via command line.

Since this issue has already been raised for the second time, I will try to add a warning in the next few days that Blender needs to be restarted.

A test this morning shows that following an initial quick cmd page which shows

These warnings come from Blender itself, there is nothing I can do. If you do a regular command line render, they will show up too.

Upon "running as admin." the same "Warn" page presents, but again, things seem to work.

Does this mean that Loom does the work without admin rights? Good to know, thanks.

Thank you for the quick response again

No problem, glad I could help.

Cheers,
Christian

Answer 4 · 2023-10-08T20:29:39.000Z

Thank you, Christian. I thought I had restarted Blender. In fact, I rebooted the computer. Regardless, so glad things are working with Loom. It should be included with Blender, in my opinion.
Best regards,
Rick

Hi @protovu,

FYI: as of the latest commits you don't necessarily have to restart Blender after installing Loom anymore (not yet completely sure for all possible cases though).

Cheers,
Christian
