  • Using backburner multiple machine cores for single image

    Dear v-ray admins and users,

    This theme is slightly off topic, so I set it here. Can any of You please tell me how do I set up two or more machines to render single v-ray image? For example, one scene in 1600x1200 on i7 720 is being rendered for 2 hrs. Is there any way how can I boost computing power with the other machine? Machine specs are:

    #1
    os: Windows Vista Bussiness
    Max version: 2009 Design 64 bit
    Backburner version: all the same

    #2
    os: Windows XP Pro
    Max version: 2009 Design 32 bit
    Backburner version: all the same

    Is it possible to cope these two machines and to make it render as one? There are 8 cores alltogether, but I can only use 4, because backburner is always only sharing image render queue not the computing power.

    Thank You in advance,

    Regards

    Brian

      Thank You very much, that did the trick

      Especially the v-ray solution, due fact backburner can divide only frames among machines, but v-ray distributes the frame itself among the cores.
