Net Render Outputs Black .exr Files, Regardless of Selected File Type After watching this tutorial on setting up network renders, I set about trying to make one myself. However, regardless of what file type I have selected, it keeps outputting black .exr files.

I viewed a variety of links (tutorial, tutorial, problem post, very similar StackExchange post with no answer, unanswered YouTube comments reporting the same problem, and a post about compositing .exr s.) However, I still am not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here's a link to the output and the file.

Know I didn't write a lot, so please feel free to ask questions. Any help is appreciated.
While multilayer OpenEXR files are a useful way to keep all the render results in one file, not every application supports them.

An easy way to get render output that can be used outside of blenders compositor is to save each part into a more compatible file, blenders file output node is useful for this.



As shown in the node properties, each output file can have it's own file format and any compositing can be included with the output.
