Is there any way to use Moho with a Render Farm?

Yes. Moho can be run in command-line mode. There's no specific support for network rendering or splitting a job between multiple computers, but the command-line support lets you set this all up using your own render farm software. Here's more info:

So all should work except "-v" for windows? I'm currently writting a small app for windows so a job can be render without opening Moho using your command line options.

Yes, that's right.

Thanks for the reply.

And to stingslang. I'm releasing my app tonight but I don't believe it's what you're looking for, as of right now. But you'll be able to render your moho files without opening moho itself. Here's a screenshot.

Ok, not sure what's happening here but the command line option doesn't work when I start adding options.

I can render this fine...

"C:\Program Files\Moho\moho.exe" -r MoonJump.moho

but as soon as I add an output and format it doesn't.

"C:\Program Files\Moho\moho.exe" -r MoonJump.moho -o C:\Documents and Settings\Owner.FLASHPULSE\Desktop\render_test.mov -f QT

Any suggestions?

Are you able to get an error message from your dialog box?

Ahh, it's always the simple things. I forgot the quotes around the output. I didn't see it in the example so I thought it didn't need it.

And looking at it closer, I bet you need double quotes around your arguments:

Code: Select all

"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner.FLASHPULSE\Desktop\render_test.mov"

since there is a space in there.

Yes indeed. You must have missed my post above yours but thanks for the help. Everything is working fine now. All I have to do is complete the start and end frame options and it's done. Well, it needs an icon.

I think we were posting at the same time.

Glad you figured it out.
