A few questions

[Marc Gibeault]

Hi all,
I'm a user of VRay for Max and a long-time Rhino User and I have a few general questions;
-Do VRay for Rhino have Distributed Rendering?
-Does it have network rendering for animations?
-If I buy VRay for Rhino, can I use my VRay for Max nodes or licenses for rendering (DR or Network)
-If it does DR or Network, do I have to get as many Rhino licenses as I want to use?
Thanks!
-Marc

Do VRay for Rhino have Distributed Rendering?

Not at this time; I'm not sure Rhino even has a notion of what distributed rendering is, even though V-Ray can do it.

Does it have network rendering for animations?

Again, I don't think Rhino was designed to support this.

If I buy VRay for Rhino, can I use my VRay for Max nodes or licenses for rendering (DR or Network)

No, for technical reasons. V-Ray for 3dsmax needs 3dsmax to load the scene for DR rendering - obviously, 3dsmax cannot load a Rhino scene.

Best regards,
Vlado

Thanks for your reply Vlado,

Maybe someday you'll have a vrayspawner60.exe version that will fire a Rhino session to enable DR...

that's a pity! because initially distributed rendering was mentioned to be supported in the final release of vray for rhino, this has been taken away during the last days though. will there be any plans to implement distributed rendering into rhino?

another thing: will there be vraymesh-support in vray for rhino? this would be very helpful when rendering massive polygon-amounts, like trees or whatever. it hasn't been mentioned anywhere, i hope it isn't much of a problem to implement.

Bongo automatically uses distributed renderingif you render an animation. You just have to render it on both pcs and save the files to the same folder. Then they will not be overwritten. You can use as many computers as you like, provided they all save the rendered images to the same folder.

It is definately slated to be incorporated, however, I doubt that we will get it in for our first release.

That is network rendering, not distributed rendering. Distributed is when more pc's render one image at the same time.
