Post ScreamerNet Video Tutorial

Despite writing a lengthy tutorial on the subject, I still receive quite a few emails regarding ScreamerNet, so to complement the PDF tutorial, here is a video tutorial showing how to setup ScreamerNet for Windows.

setting_up_screamernet.zip (12.5mb)

You'll need the TechSmith Screen Codec (TSSC) to view it.

You may also want to grab the PDF too, which goes into much more detail.

Hope you find it useful!

Regards
Matt

Okay, I've updated the video, if you grabbed the first one, this one is better!

setting_up_screamernet.zip (13.2mb)

Cheers
Matt

P.S. This is for Windows only, just thought you Mac guys might want to know before downloading!

You can view it on a Mac, Riki has successfully.

You need to download the Ensharpen Codec (which includes the TSS Codec) grab it here:

Ensharpen for OSX

Ensharpen for Mac OS9

Let me know if it helps.

Cheers
Matt

Ok, I have WIN XP Pro on 1 machine and Win 2000 Pro, on the other.
I followed your TUT to the letter, And Nothing is working with LW_9.
Have the Pluggins loaded and Read only..Autoscan is off.
Is there any thing I am missing, I checked the paths for the Configs and Content.
I would Love to get the Bloody thing to work some day....arrrgggghhhh...
How something so simple so can be so fustrating...

It works fine ( ScreamerNet) with LW8.5, Just can't get it to work with LW_9......


Thank you
Michael

Ok Got the ScreamerNet for LW_9, to work in WIN XP 64 Pro, except it does not save the Images to the Screamer_Save folder.

Any Ideas to why it won't save the images ????

Michael

Ahhhhhh, I think this is pretty straight forward, it looks like you've not enclosed the path names in quotes, ScreamerNet doesn't like spaces, so in your batch files make sure you surround your paths with " "

Your batch files should read:

@echo OFF
@echo "LightWave ScreamerNet Node 1 ..."

cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\NewTek\LightWave 3D 9\Programs"

Code:
LWSN -2 -c"\\64bitlightwave\S_Net_LW9_32\LightWave 3D 9\Config_SN" -d\\64bitlightwave\S_Net_LW9_32\LightWave_9\Content "\\64bitlightwave\S_Net_LW9_32\LightWave 3D 9\Screamer_Command\job1" "\\64bitlightwave\S_Net_LW9_32\LightWave 3D 9\Screamer_Command\ack1"
Also, just to point out the lines with REM in front are only to comment the script, they are not actually needed.

Let's know how you get on.

Cheers
Matt

You replied why I was replying!

The save issue could be an access issue, when on the other node (not the one with your full LightWave installed on it) can you access and save a file to the Screamer_Save folder?

Also, make sure your LW9EXT.cfg file in your shared config folder has all the plugins using the shared network address and not a local one.

Open it up in a text editor and check.
