I'd always use a separate new cloud for reading , this way everything stays
clean.
I often have even one scene for simulating/caching, and another one for
reading/rendering both open at the same time ..

Hi everyone
I am rendering a scene using irradiance particles but when I send it to the
render farm I get random black frames from random machines. Any ideas?
Thanks
Look at logs from the farm - best place to start. Need to know which machines
rendered the black frames.

Mmm not sure Clouds - one thing I have noticed is that MR gets pretty funky
when you hit close to RAM limits. How are you in this regard?

Yeah I think you right it looks like it could be a ram issue. typical MR J

Thanks guys. I have gone another way. I'm dicing my geo and then
filtering the points to closest points in a pointcloud generated from
a sample set. I can then adjust the size of the polys by the density
of the point distribution in the pointcloud.
It adds a few layers to the workflow, but it
Agreed Christian, it does keep it cleaner and gives you a fallback if it all
goes wrong!

I also use a second cloud, and I use the [Scene] tag in the path to the
icecache on the target cloud, speeds up my workflow a lot! Once you save a
cache and load it to an empty cloud, replace the name of the scene in the
path with the tag, and you can have it update with new scene versions,
You can activate the tool like this (JScript):

Not 100% sure what you mean by with given values but you can apply a Slice

Look for Viewport Capture

I would do it like this:

It's probably only the ui that resets it to 1, if you capture from

The combo box is usually just a UI wrapper helping to pick a value by its
label. The value underneath with the UI closed should still be changeable
if valid.
Don't know about this specific one, but other combo boxes in the past got

I think this is already covered somewhere in the doc. XSIUnloadPlugin gets
called when the plugin is unloaded by the plugin manager (explicitly or when
XSI exits). It is also called through the Application.UnloadPlugin API or if
XSILoadPlugin fails.

Marc-Andre, with all due respect, I think you are mistaken.
Here's what the docs say:
A self-installing plug-in can also implement anXSIUnloadPlugin
