How can I render particle/mesh BIN sequences in a renderfarm?
Particle/mesh BINs are not located inside the Maya scene, so you need to install the plug-in in all the machines in the renderfarm in order to load the BIN sequences. The meshes/particles are external files that are loaded whenever Maya changes the current frame. The important thing about the path is that all the machines in the renderfarm must be able to reach it. So it is advisable to load the files through the network path.
