Single Image

Blender
v4.2+
Flamenco
v3.6-alpha+

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.

Created by David Zhang. Documented and maintained by Sybren Stüvel. Please report any issues at Flamenco’s tracker.

This job type can render an image by splitting it up into tiles and assigning those tiles to different workers. As the last task in the job, those tiles are merged into the final output image.

To use, download single_image_render.js and place it in the scripts directory next to the Flamenco Manager executable. Create the directory if necessary. Then restart Flamenco Manager and in Blender press the “Refresh from Manager” button.

Limitations

There are a few limitations of this script:

  • Only supports 100% render scale.
  • Does not support denoising, as Blender doesn’t expose enough info in a way that can be exported to tiled multi-layer EXR.
  • Needs more testing before it can be bundled with Flamenco itself.
