Network Preferences
These Preferences are used to set up and control Fusion's network rendering. The majority of settings are found in the Render Manager dialog.
- Submit Network Render Compositions To
Enter the Master Name and IP address of the computer that will manage all network renders sent from this machine into the text control in this section.
If a standalone render master is in use on the network, this control may be pre-filled, but it may be uneditable. This is done to prevent multiple unauthorized render masters from being created by each artist in a facility.
To re-enable editing of the master name and IP, create the environment variable FUSION_NO_MANAGER and set the value to True.
General
- Make This Machine A Render Master
When selected, this copy of Fusion will accept network render compositions from other machines and manage the render. It does not necessarily mean that this copy will be directly involved in the render but it will submit the job to the slaves that are listed in the render manager dialog.
- Allows This Machine To Be Used As A Network Slave
When selected, this computer will accept compositions for network rendering. De-select it to prevent other people from submitting flows to this computer.
- Render On All Available Machines
Enable this checkbox to force Fusion to ignore groups and priorities configured in the render manager. Compositions submitted from this system for network rendering will always be assigned to every available slave.
Email Notification
- Notify Options
These checkboxes cause Fusion to send an email when certain render events take place. The available events are Queue completion, Job done and Job failure.
- Send Email to
Enter the address or addresses to which notifications should be sent. Separate multiple addresses with a semi colon.
- Override Sender Address
Enter an email address that will be used as the Sender Address. If this option is not selected, no sender address is used, which may cause some spam filters to prevent the message from being delivered to the recipient.
