Farm Path Mapping & Multi-OS Workers

Render Farm Updated 18 Jul 2026

Path maps

Configure path mapping so //server/show on Windows matches /mnt/show on Linux workers.

Workers

Stale heartbeat? Check Tailscale/NAS mount before retrying failed chunks.

Overview

Windows, Linux, and macOS workers must resolve the same scene paths.

Steps

  1. Submit from DCC with ROP/output paths the workers can read.
  2. Watch the scoped queue (My Work / My Shows / Whole Farm).
  3. Retry failed chunks; escalate stuck jobs to wrangler.
  4. Review render cost on hot shots if you have oversight access.

Gotchas

  • Workers must read the same NAS/Tailscale paths as artists.
  • Render cost appears after job completion, not at queue time.
