Distributed Rendering Question

[Long John]

how handles vray´s maps when DR is used?

do i have to make sure that every map is available on every client or does it distribute the maps as well, like backburner can do?

if it does not distribute the maps to the client, what about a option to enable this?

for quick testrenderings small scene it often take to much time to setup all directorys.

it would be nice to have a network folder where all maps are copied to and if some client does not find the map on its local drives, it will look in the specified network folder.

must be an easy to answer question or not??

Here's some answers:

You have to make the maps available. Make sure to use UNC paths

Makes sense to save maps in the right place the first time.

thanks.

why no option to distribute the maps to a temp dir?

only one more question, can i test DR with the demo?

because it would be very impratical for it to do so. Maybe this is a question for discreet.
