I'm transferring all my project files into the render farm folder where I can finally start batch rendering my scene with separate geometries, fog, simulation effects etc.
Re-referencing of geometries and textures in progress...
Post will be updated.
Let's hope everything will turn out fine!

I've been doing test renders using the render farm for quite a while now.
So far I've had not much issues (only a little but solved) and I should be able to leave the render farm working on my scene over the weekends.
Here's the geometry separation & render passes setup I'm using to test over the weekend.

I'm having problems batch rendering out fog in HD. I'll figure out ways to optimize my fog renders.
I'll add ambient occlusion to the current setup I'm using after the weekend test render.
At the same time I'll watch some nuke tutorials over the weekend since I have to consistantly keep using it to separate out the passes and test composite from the exr image files.
I've decided to use .exr format instead of .png as exr is much easier to use since it compiles all the passes together.
Nuke is a good compositing software for separating out the passes.

Aww crap!
Jia Bao just reminded me that Ariinstructed us to only use the render farm from Tuesdays to Thursdays every week.
I wasn't even supposed to use the render farm earlier oops :P
Anyway I've let the workstation render over the weekend instead.
Let's see how it goes.
