NAME

       k3d-renderframe - Part of a simple system for queueing K-3D render jobs on the local host

SYNOPIS

       k3d-renderframe [options] [directory ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Extracted from http://www.k-3d.org/wiki/Network_Rendering

	      Currently,  K-3D	implements  a  simple system for queueing rendering jobs on the local host. When the user initiates a job (such as
	      rendering a preview image, rendering a final frame, or rendering an animation),  a  job  directory  is  created  (usually  in  /tmp,
	      although this can be configured). The job directory contains a lock file, a control file named control.k3d, and one-to-many numbered
	      frame directories. The name of the lock file changes to flag the sta.IP tus  of  the  job  as  "ready",  "running",  "complete",	or
	      "error".	The control.k3d file is currently unused.  Each frame directory contains a lock file, a control file named control.k3d and
	      zero-to-many frame resources. The name of the lock file changes to flag the status of the frame as "ready",  "running",  "complete",
	      or  "error".  The control.k3d file is an XML file that encodes a set of operations that must be completed successfully to change the
	      status of the frame from "ready" to "complete". Three types of operation are allowed: a "render" operation that executes a  pre-con-
	      figured  render command using a fixed set of command-line arguments, a "copy" operation that copies a file from one filesystem loca-
	      tion to another; and a "view" operation that displays a bitmap image using the user's choice of image viewer.  The  frame  resources
	      are inputs to the render engine, such as RIB files, texture images, shaders, etc.

	      The  k3d-renderjob executable is run with the path to a job directory as an argument. k3d-renderjob updates the job lock file, iter-
	      ating over each frame directory, spawning an instance of k3d-renderframe for each frame (one at a time). k3d-renderframe is run with
	      the  path  to a frame directory as an argument, updating the frame lock file, reading the control file, and executing the operations
	      that it specifies.

       -h, --help
	      prints this help information and exits

       --version
	      prints program version information and exits
