Worker Client

How to run

1. Server: Start with py main.py (for Server's main.py)
2. Worker: Start with py main.py [args(see below)] (for Worker's main.py)
3. Worker: Enter r or register when prompted to enter command (alternatively add -ar or -autoregister to Worker args)
4. Wait until registration is complete (can take several seconds)
5. Server: Press enter to send file

Pass these arguments when calling Workers' main.py:

• Windows: -d -server localhost -port 65431 -httphost localhost -httpport 65432 -blenderpath "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\[Folder of Blender Version]\blender.exe"
• MacOS: -d -server localhost -port 65431 -httphost localhost -httpport 65432 -blenderpath "/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOs/Blender"
• Linux: -d -server localhost -port 65431 -httphost localhost -httpport 65432 -blenderpath "[Path to Blender]/blender"

Don't forget to adjust the blender path Hint for UNIX-based systems: When referring to current user's directory write ~ in front of "". Otherwise it is considered a folder/file name. Hint for Windows: If a path ends with a \ (indicating it's a directory), write \\ if the \ is followed by a "

Probleme:

• Beim Starten der main.py des Workers mit PyCharm über die Run- oder Debug-Aktionen wird das Rendering in Blender nicht ausgeführt. Blender kommt nicht weiter als bis zum Laden der userpref.blend. Beim Aufruf über das Terminal mit py main.py *[args]* funktioniert alles einwandfrei. (Windows 10, PyCharm 2024.1.1, Python 3.12.3)
