Backburner Queue for Animation precalc then frames

[paulison]

Does anyone know if this works...

Set up a net render job on one computer, precalculating every 10th frame to produce an IR map file

Set up a net render job on this same computer queued up to render AFTER the task above, that uses the precalced IR map to render every frame out.

Just wondering because I have a short animation and a whole weekend to waste on just the IR map precalc. I may as well set it up this way so some of the frames are rendered for monday

Anyway, i'll try it out but would be nice to hear from people who do this regularly

Yep, I've done it before using the job dependencies in backburner. Worked fine.

I do this all the time, works great! Dependency rocks! (in Backburner that is)
