3Delight have a set of options and configurations that can be specified through the 3delight.ini configuration file. The renderer looks for it in four different locations in the following order:
- In 3Delight's installation directory, as specified by the
$DELIGHT
environment variable. - In the directories specified by the
$DELIGHT_CONF
environment variable (a colon separated list). - In user's home directory, as specified by the
$HOME
environment variable. It also looks for an.3delight.ini
file in the same directory. - Finally, the
3delight.ini
in the current directory. ← Do we need to keep this ???
If 3Delight encounters the file in more than one location, it uses the latest keys and values it finds (later options settings override former ones). This enables to have a site specific configuration file in the $DELIGHT
or $DELIGHT_CONF
directories and user specific settings in their home directory. The former often done by the system administrator responsible for the software installation.
Each line in the configuration file is of the form "key value1 [value2 ... value_n]
". The recognised keys are:
Key | Description |
---|---|
networkcache.directory | Specifies the directory for 3Delight's network caching. Should point to directory located on a local drive (disk or, better yet, SSD) on each render nodes. |
networkcache.size | Specifies the maximum size (in GB) of 3Delight's network cache. The recommended minimum size is 30GB. Large projects (with lots of texture maps) could easily benefit from 100GB or more. |
The following is the default 3delight.ini
file content (included in the 3Delight's installation directory):
