To render an ASS file, the vendor would need:
- an Arnold license
- the bin folder in the SItoA addon
  eg \SItoA\Application\bin\nt-x86-64

So would he need the shaders from a Soft install , but just not a license?? Sorry, I am a little foggy on how this all works.

Thanks

Hi Greg

Ass files are per frame.
Shaders and textures and procedurals are external to the ass file.
Vendor doesn't need softimage. Vendor needs the shader and procedural dlls/sos

Hello all,

We have a big job that we are most likely going to have to reach out to an outside render farm vendor.

What is the most bullet proof way to send them a scene to render? I am assuming an ass file or files would be the way to go. Having never done this my self I have a few .ass noobe questions..

Can a single ass file of the scene contain the animation or is per frame?

Are Softimage and custom shaders compiled in the ass fille, or would the vendor need our work group and a zillion cuts of soft to render with?

Textures I assume must be sent along with the .ass file, or is there a way to include them in the .ass?

Things to watch out for?

Thanks guys and gals.
