Before your first submit

Check this workstation.

Local uses this computer’s tools and licenses, with no Shared Folder or Render Node. Open Local capabilities from Eclipse’s header and review the machine check. Save your scene and enable its Eclipse integration before submitting.

01

Choose your application

The location and controls of the Eclipse submitter change for each application. Choose yours to see the correct workflow.

Selected application

Shown with a supported renderer. The same submission flow applies to the other supported renderers; renderer-specific settings may differ.

  1. 1

    Find the integration

    In the /out context, press Tab and create Eclipse Submitter (Local).

  2. 2

    Open the local submitter

    Connect one or more supported ROPs to the Eclipse Submitter node.

  3. 3

    Prepare the job

    Standard uses Houdini; Standalone Renderer exports for a licensed renderer CLI. Check outputs and metadata.

  4. 4

    Submit to Eclipse

    Select Submit. The connected ROP frame range is sent to the Eclipse Local queue.

Monitor the Local queue

Check progress, logs, and saved frames. Open the output folder from the card. Relaunch reuses the scene or export: a new standalone range requires those frames to have been exported already.
