Working remotely

[Alessio]

narsov In the meantime I have switched over to AnyDesk & Parsec which are both working phenomenally with none of the issues. However, Nvidia recently "unlocked" their non-quadro cards for remote desktop streaming, you should take a look at that . Should solve the RDP issues as far as I know.

Thanks for the info... Seems interesting... Anyone tried this and have any suggestion/observation?
Will have a look on it for sure

Nice thread and good to hear some real-life experience on remote working.
As there are some experienced people about this, I've a question about the distribuited rendering.
Considering that the rendernode reaches the same assets folder of the workstation, when you use a rendernode throught internet , the scene that is transfered is compressed to or not?

For example, if I have a 50MB of max scene, the internet transfer is about 50MB or a smaller one (compressed)?

Thanks in advance.

Yes if you're using Backburner the scene is compressed, sent to the manager and then to the server where it is decompessed and rendered. I don't think any other assets like textures or XRefs are compressed though.

thank you
But if you use Vray distribuited rendering feature is it the same?

[Alessio]

From what I see Vray DR saves the scene before sending it directly to the slaves. So I do not think the scene is compressed in any way or converted in .vrscene.
Same for the textures or external references as well.
But I'm not a developer so not sure what happens under the hood

I've been using Hamachi with decent success.
10 render nodes remotely located & response is not that bad.
- I am however exclusively doing single frame renders.
I do not know if Hamachi would work well for seq. renders, & for simple shares it works just fine.
Zero management or security issues.
