NOTE - To use Lightwave with Linux please check the FAQ


Setup the Linux Client:

Copy the BNRLinuxClient.zip to the Linux machine and unzip the files.

 

Map the Render path:

You can modify the smbdrive.sh to Map the Samba (windows) drives
(This may require (SU) SuperUser rights) 
 

(bnetnode.load)

; Make sure you end each setting with a ';'

; FOR Linux Lightwave
LINUX_LW_LWSN=/usr/share/lwsn-7.5c/programs/lwsn; 
LINUX_LW_CFG=/usr/share/lwsn-7.5c/.lwext3rc;
LINUX_LW_TEMPDIR=/tmp;
;
;
; For Maya
;
MAYA_BATCHRENDER=/usr/maya/bin/render;
MAYA_PROJECTDIR=/usr/maya/projectdir;
CREATEBATCHLOG=1;
;

Edit the configuration file (bnetnode.load):

Edit the 'bnetnode.load' file and set all the paths
(Note: If you are going to use the runit_lw.sh or runit_maya.sh - You will want to modify the 'bnetnode.lw' or 'bnetnode.maya' files, because the scripts will copy these into the 'bnetnode.load')

The BNR SCENEDIR and BNR_FRAMEDIR must be the same directories - Location that the Controller is using. This is very important!
