    clessley - 2017-06-06

    Using tiles to maximize render time does not work for me. One unit will work fine by itself but this doesn't really save any time over using Blender directly.

    Using 3 machines, all are using Blender 2.78c on Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS x86_64. There is a total of 16 cores (8 master; 4 grunt; 4 grunt). I am exporting a SINGLE frame (a still image) on the HDTV 1080p (1980x1080) setting in Blender.

    If I select tile render (any number), the master/grunt errors out almost immediately while the grunts want to continue working. No matter what is pressed the job fails and all set to idle. Sometimes files are generated in the .loki folder.

    Image:

    Error from terminal:

    What type of frame type are you using, Loki only supports png (from what my developer told me).
