Vray purchase

[theamoebason]

Hi there

I have been asked to investigate the purchese of VRay advanced - but the system is One computer running 3dmax7 and 10 slave computers on a render farm. Do we have to buy 11 copies of Vray or just 1?

I think each VRay Advanced Package supports up to 10 computers. You can use more computers with the purchase of additional network licenses and there is no limit on how many CPUs each computer has. So you should be ok with one package, but you may need one additional network licence.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

I believe this is only for Distributed Rendering. It should be unlimited with Network Rendering.

Correct for network rendering over as many computers as you want...you just need the V-ray spawner installed and running on each additional computer. It is kind of like Back burner if you have ever used that feature! of 3DS Max. But you should know there are bugs over network rensering!

such as:

Once you start a project on the farm it must finish "you can't cancel in the middel and than just restart them instantly", or your V-ray spawners will get messed up and you have to restart them. "there are a few Utilities out there that you can use to make this work better such as:
