Running Axy Headless

 

Hi there.

Since Axy offers remote (headless) rendering, I was wondering if there's any chance to run Axy headless on a local machine.

Basically some command line switch that would tell Axy to
- start without *any* control interface
- load a specific xcomp
- sit there 'hidden' and render away happily ever after.
(or until manually restarted... .-))

For our workflow this would be extremely cool :-)

Cheers & all the best.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

We don't have such a switch.

The closest you can do is to start the composer with these switches: ...filename.xcomp /pilot /quiet
Where filename.xcomp opens the xcomp file.
/pilot starts Composer without the Flow Editor
And, /quiet starts the Composer without the splash screen and skips the Startup Configuration window:

Like this shortcut does:

If this doesn't fully satisfy you, we can add headless rendering to our request list.

Warmest regards,

Hi Eifert.

Thanks for the info!
This is a good start, but a 'real' headless mode would be awesome!

Cheers & all the best.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

We added headless running to our request list and we will consider adding it in future releases.

Warmest regards,
