bitmaps for distributed rendering

[peter.horn]

two questions:
when I use dieributed rendering, the external computer can't use the materials working with bitmaps like wood. Do I have to copy the bitmap to this computer?

Is there a way to switch off shadows of single objects?

Re: bitmaps for distributed rendering

At this time you will have to have either local copies of all the bitmaps in the same file path as the ones on the host machine, or you need to have all computers connected to a network drive which is mapped as the same drive letter on each machine. We are looking into options to get around this for future releases.

There is currently no way to switch off shadows of single objects. We are trying to get per object options together as well.
