Hi, I downloaded 0.1.2 and had it up and running in minutes (with the help of your youtube video). And who can't love that.
I was not able to get it to function on a larger architectural interior though, as it seems to hang or only render one portion worth of the image. Seems to create different error behavior each time so I am not sure if it is a node error handling problem. I get "ERROR ; local could not be resolved to a node" (in cr_client.log) so it may just be that I need to take a look at my filepaths.
And (on the same file) if I open the autosave .blend file that is made when you click "Render still" and then try to hit "Render still" I get this error in red "Could not find result image for :local" (in the Info python display).
I also noticed that in the UI, the "Render Nodes" section only appears in the first instance of Blender that you have open, following instances of Blender only display the "Render Controls" section. Not a huge issue but can frustrate workflows.
And of course, more error handling will be awesome.
Some features I would use:
1. A button for whether the Client/Master processes the image as well (so as not to slow down your workstation)
2. A way to save/load a Node List
3. Network Bake Textures (I know, not a small request)
4. Network Bake Physics (I know, even worse)
Love the work, Thank You!

Hi Aaron, no problem, thanks for posting the report! I'll take a look and get back to you :D
I posted that error report. And for some reason I thought clicking the lil heart would give me an info pop-up but I apparently have now liked both of the last posts. :)
Hi Aaron, great that you are testing out 0.1.2 :D, I'd really like to take a look at your log files and see if I can help fix those issues for you. If you can send us your log files that would be great. The best way to do that would be to save the logs from each computer and label accordingly, so like master_log.zip (for the computer you work from) and then render_1.log, render_2.log, etc. for the render nodes you were connected to when you had the problems.
Here's the section of the video that deals with how to easily zip the logs.

And heres the link to where you can report this as an issue with the software, there's a form where you can upload the log files.
https://www.crowd-render.com/report-a-problem
It goes directly into our software management system and I can then action it and start investigating for you.
We'll confirm we got the issue and we're working on it once you post it :D
Looking forward to getting your scenes working with the addon real soon :D
