hi all,
i'm trying to hook up some ROP's to render (using hrender) in a specific order…
hooking them up like this… A -> B -> C
it's a three pass render process so i want ROP A to render the first frame, then ROP B, then ROP C. and then the second frame.. so on and so forth…
(as opposed to the default action of ROP A rendering the entire sequence, then ROP B rendering the entire sequence etc)
tried using the frame dependency rop but it doesn't make much sense to me

any help would be much appreciated

if you go to Render-Control (button next to Render) you can change the dependency behaviour from Node-By-Node to Frame-By-Frame

tried that… didn't seem to make a difference

-edit-
i double checked, the default ROP order is set to “frame by frame”
but it doesn't seem to act accordingly?

Try connecting your Rops to a Merge, set the merge node to frame by frame and render that.

merge node doesn't work either,
has anyone actually tried doing this with hrender?
maybe hrender breaks rop dependencies or something…

This works for me at least. Although I'm on windows, no hrender here.. :\
