MTMG net render

[jamination]

Any folks out there been able to successfully net render an MTMG (mindthink tools motion
graphics). I would love to get a hold of that trick.

hmm cache it and render?
What is the problem you are having?

Thiago,

Have you done this successfully, I would love to know. Mostly I get a lot of blank frames.
I will investigate further. I really have never had any problems with other third party plugins
rendering over a network before.

edit:
I don't think you can cache them the same way you cache normal particles. And I believe the MTMG cache is for materials.

not really, you cache particles motion with the MT cache.

select the cloud open the MT_MG toolbar, on the Motion tab you click "write cache" it is in the "Particle tools" group.
its gonna log something like this for each frame cached:
// INFO : mt_mg_cmd_writecache : Written ... \\Mom\Grandma\Clients\Let Us Kiss\WINKS\sea_characters\Sea_characters_3d\Simula tion\mt_mg_cloud_cube.99.mt_cache

then you can go on Create tab and put Cloud From>Cache and write the cache name
this case it is "mt_mg_cloud_cube" which is the cloud name from where the write cache was made.
