Network Rendering- How to?? Newbie here!!

[Farhan]

Hey Guys,
I am pretty new to Vray and this is just my second post here,though I have been following all you Masters :P since the past 6 months and have learnt a lot thru you.My question is: How do I set up Network rendering for an animation using Vray? I would like to use 2 other machines in my office....Would I require extra licenses or Auth.codes for the other machines as well? What is the procedure? I am using 1.09.03r with Max 6.Any help will be highy appreciated.Thanks in advance.

cheers,
Farhan

you must use 1.09.03n.
1.09.03r can not set up Network rendering.

Thanks for the reply hojun....but are u sure I won't be able to Net render with this version??...'cuz we just bought the version thinking that we had everything included from the previous versions....this sounds bad..

there are no VRaySpawner(DRWizard**.exe)
impossible...
Let's wait for 1.5

Yes you can Net render ... you will need to calc your Imap on one machine then use Backburner to do the animation for you... but if are talking about DR then you will have to upgrade ..

hey thanks Natty...you are a lifesaver....yes, I intend to Netrender and not DR....but I also need to know whether I would have to request for another Authorization code from Chaos to install and run VRay on the other slave machines in the rendering network....or is there another way of doing it??...sorry for the million questions...thx in advance

[serge]

for network rendering or dr
you don't need to authorise vray on your servers

[Farhan]

thx serge....but when I installed it on other machines....it is asking for the Auth.code when I select it as the renderer in the Render dialog.....is there something where I need to click or some file I need to run to avoid this??

[serge]

you have to use backburner
launch server on your servers
manager and monitor on your workstation

thx for all the help guys...thx serge....will try that out
