Rendering with 2 computers.

[Rich_Art]

Hi All,

I know you can use net render with VrayforC4D, but how can I use 2 computers to render a still.... Or is that not possible..

Peace,

not yet, unless you use a tiled camera from C4D (just like with NET)
distributed rendering is coming soon... I heard 8)

[Rich_Art]

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it with the tiled cam.

Peace,
Rich_Art. :wink:

yes it is possible, we built that in.

go to renderoptions system:

use split render. just type in the number of splits you want and render that over NET. for 2 solits render a 2 frame animation. very easy:-)

so one pc renders the first half, the second the other. yoou can put them together in psd then.

dr will come in next bigger update, that makes it eaven easier then.

cheers

Mmm I think I do something wrong with the netrender.
I don't know if I may ask this here on the forum if not, please say so.

I have on my PC the Server running and a client.
On the laptop a client.
When I start the new job I see 2 clients (PC and Laptop) on "busy" the laptops render frame 1. After that my PC-client goes from busy to waiting but does not render the second frame.
My laptop render both frames.
What do I wrong...

Peace,
Rich_Art. :wink:

As far as I know regarding Cinema NET, is a little annoying "default" thingy.
If the animation has less then 3 or 4 (I don't remember exactly) the render is not distributed to more than one Client.

I got that from Dann Stubbs sometimes ago, if I remember correctly.

Peace,
