Wishlist item: IPR with Distributed Rendering

[stevejjd]

Hi guys
me again - Hope your all doing good!

I would like to ask Chaos Group if they can please update VRay Advanced so that IPR works with DR.

After renting a 1 Year DR Licence I was pretty shocked to find that IPR isn't supported which was the whole point of me renting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above mentioned IPR with DR is my exact wish item here but I also wanted to ask your opinion on a semi-related idea.

If I were to have IPR with DR, it would be cool to have some control over how many cores are engaged. My workstation is overheating a lot - which is why I got a DR licence. It would be 'cool'if we had a control amount for how many cores each computer is engaging. That way my Worsktation can reserve its energy and run cooler while my render slave computer does all the heavy lifting in IRP mode

We cannot (and will not) support IPR with DR in 3ds Max for with V-Ray Adv for techical reasons. However it works with V-Ray RT and in other products like Maya.

Best regards,
Vlado

Thanks for your answer Vlado and all your hard work.

Man an I wish I knew all this before I spent money - guess everything is a learning experience.

Im just trying to squeeze maximum performance at the lowest price. It can be a bit difficult. This feature would have been really great.

No worries Vlado....all the best

Can you give a little explanation of the technical reasons why you can't do it? Just curious why it won't work with 3ds max but will work with other software like maya. Is this a software architecture thing?
