Some of 3Delight's configuration must be done through options that are specified in the If 3Delight encounters the file in more than one location, it uses the latest keys and values it finds (so that latter options settings override former ones). This enables to have a site specific configuration file in the Each line in the configuration file is of the form " Specifies the maximum size (in GB) for 3Delight's network cache. The recommended minimum size is 30GB. Large projects (with lots of texture maps) could easily benefit from 100GB or more. Specifies the name or IP address of the server used to run 3Delight's license server ' By default, the renderer will request new licenses for every render and release them once it’s done. Multiple request/release can be undesirable if several frames are rendered in sequence from the same process. If this option is set to 1, the licenses obtained for the first frame are held until the last frame is finished. If this is set to 1, 3Delight will wait for a license when no license are available for rendering. Otherwise (if it is set to 0), 3Delight will stop/exit if no licenses are available. The latter setting is useful when managing a render farm and other work could be scheduled instead of leaving a machine waiting for a license for rendering. The following is the default 3delight.config configuration file. This configuration is usually done at the time of installation and is best left to the system administrator or the person doing the installation. The renderer looks for the 3delight.config file at several locations in the following order:$DELIGHT environment variable.$DELIGHT_CONF environment variable (a colon separated list).$HOME environment variable. It also looks for an .3delight.config file in the same directory.3delight.config in the current directory. ← Do we need to keep this ???$DELIGHT or $DELIGHT_CONF directories and user specific settings in their home directory. The former often is best left to the system administrator responsible for the software installation.key value1 [value2 ... value_n]". The recognised keys are:Key Description networkcache.directory

3delight.config file content (included in the 3Delight's installation directory):
# This 3Delight file allows you to set some configuration options. The format
# is simple: each line is a key/value pair linking an option to a specific value.
# Lines starting with a "#" character are ignored (they serve as comment lines).
# Example:
#
# networkcache.directory /var/tmp/3DelightCache
#
# Recognized keys are:
#
# networkcache.directory : Set location of 3Delight's texture cache.
# networkcache.size : Set the maximum size of the texture cache (in GB).
# license.server : The name or address of the license server.
# license.hold : 1 means avoids releasing licenses between frames of a sequence.
# license.wait : 1 means wait for a license to be freed when none are available.
