Compositor Nodes

Blender

v4.0

Flamenco

v3.5

This is a community-made job type. It may not reflect the same design as the rest of Flamenco, as it was made for a specific person to solve a specific need.

Documented and maintained by Dylan Blanqué. Please report any issues at the script’s Github.

This job type updates Blender’s compositor nodes to work with Flamenco.

You’ll need to do the following changes to support this workflow:

Download the Flamenco Compositor Script ZIP file and extract it somewhere.
Copy startup_script.py to the configured Blender File Folder in your shared storage.
Copy multi_pass_render.js to the scripts folder in your Flamenco Manager installation folder (create it if it doesn’t exist).
Add these variables to your flamenco-manager.yaml file:
- storagePath: Your NAS path, multi-platform variable.
- jobSubPath: Where the jobs are stored inside storagePath.
- renderSubpath: Where the render output is stored inside storagePath.
- deviceType: Compute Device Type to force. Do not set the variable if you wish to use whatever is available.
Submit your job from Blender with the corresponding Multi-Pass Job, it should whatever compositor nodes you have set and correct the paths where necessary.

This has only been tested in an environment with Shaman enabled, but it should work without Shaman as well.
