With the above changes, your task command would be as follows. If you don't specify the format, the command will use the value in the blend file. If you have several AOVs for example you may want the OPEN_EXR_MULTILAYER format. It's also likely you'll want to render to a different format than EXR. To render a range of more than one frame per task, you need to use the -frame-start and -frame-end arguments with the and tokens respectively. This means it won't render all frames if you set the chunk size above one. The template, as set in the BMW example, can only render one frame per task since it uses Blender's -render-frame argument. You can also open the Preview tab, which shows the resolved JSON payload. To understand how these tokens are resolved and to see a list of other available tokens, go to the reference documentation.

The template contains several tokens in angle brackets. You should familiarize yourself with the Blender command line syntax here or type blender -help in a terminal or command prompt. This is where you define the command to run on the render nodes. On the General tab, the large text area is the Task Template. You can tag one asset as the scene asset and then refer to it with the token on the General tab. Select your file asset and press the Tag as Scene button.Select bmw_half_turn_low.blend file and press the X button to remove it.Use the Browse Files button to add your file asset.To use your own Blend file instead of the BMW scene:
