SheepIt Render Farm Client
Overview
SheepIt Render Farm Client is an Open Source client for the distributed render farm SheepIt.
Compilation
You will need Java 1.7 or higher. (OpenJDK and Oracle are both supported).
To create the jar file, simply type ./gradlew shadowJar on linux/OSX and gradlew.bat shadowJar on Windows in the project's root directory.
Usage
Once you have the jar file, you can see how to use it by running:
java -jar build/libs/sheepit-client.jar --help
When you are doing development work, you can use a mirror of the main site specially made for demo/dev. The mirror is located at http://sandbox.sheepit-renderfarm.com, and you can use it by passing -server http://sandbox.sheepit-renderfarm.com to your invocation of the client.
At the command line ui (-ui text / -ui oneLine) you could type in the following commands and press enter to control the client:
- status: get the current status of the client (paused, stoped, etc.)
- priority : set the renderer process priority
- block: block the current project
- pause: pause the client to request new jobs after the current frame has finished to render
- resume: resume the client after it was paused
- stop: stop the client after the current frame has finished
- cancel: cancel the stop request
- quit: stop the client directly without finishing the current frame
