Dr. Queue Manual For Windows XP

  Published by Eugene (etr9j) on April 19th, 2006 in Tutorials

DQ_weasel1.jpgDistributed Rendering is the cornerstone of large productions. There are several options in Blender to achieve this, the most popular open-source solution being Dr. Queue. If you were like me, a Windows XP user in Dr. Queue's Linux world, you might have found Dr. Queue difficult to setup, if you got it setup at all.

Luckily, about two months ago an elysiun post gave step by step instructions to use Dr. Queue with Blender - and it has screen shots too! Thanks to the writings of Brian K. Drescher, and the editing of Patrik (Patdog) and Toine (Twansparent) (all from the company Rovorm), Windows users can share in Dr. Queue's abilities for Blender.

    Hello.

    I only briefly looked at those instructions, they probably arn't too complecated, but DrQueue and I don't really get along. As a result, I wrote a python script (actually, a pair of scripts) to allow distributed rendering. It should also be possible to render using YAFRAY (and, depending on the implementation, might be able to use POVRAY); I havn't tested this, though. I just thought, as we are on the topic of distributed rendering, that I would point you to this other option should you prefer it :-) : http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64662

    Also, my scripts permit the server to render (I noticed that these instructions said otherwise about DrQueue).

    I wish you all successful setups - which ever option you choose.

    Hi,

    that Dr.Queue seems to be very useful (but the scripts of Techmeology are, too). So I've got only but truly heavy problem with Dr.Queue: where can I download it as ready-to-use compiled binary collection or setup for windows (XP)?
    In the original download archives I did not find anything.

    There is a compiled binary version at their site: http://www.drqueue.org/download.php

    but it requires a LOT of setup besides just installing it. Although, if you follow the instructions CORRECTLY (which includes spelling of ETC, in my case ;) ) then you should have NO problems.

    My collegue organised that the executable is again available from Dr. Queue. It's packed in the zip…

    I'm not sure what I did wrongly… (there are no error messages or anything…) But when I start the master, it says "waiting for connection…" and stops there. Nothing happens, even after I start all the slaves on other computers on the network.

    When I go to the manager, under the Computers tab, there are no slaves displayed.

    Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks.

    Leon
