I was trying to test Vray5 swarm to see how it compares against my old software (thea v2). With the old software, network rendering is near instantaneous - you dont see any lag on the render nodes. I am very new to Vray in Sketchup (used to be a Max user) but i noticed terrible lag.
During almost all of a 10 minute rendering, the render slave is spending all that time receiving assets like texture files etc. Its a small model of an interior space with about 10 models from the Cosmos library. My network speed is OK (I tested it with "LAN Speed Test" and it says 250 Mbps Upload speed, 850Mb download speed).
Normally I use a cloud storage solution for all my assets so that all nodes are always working from the exact same resource and they dont need to download anything at render time. However, i dont know how to do that with sketchup Vray & Cosmos. How do i bypass this problem ?
In 3dsMax its easy since i can easily edit the paths of all assets in any scene and make sure everything is pointing to the same location on the Cloud share (I use Onedrive personal account).
Or is there some other way to get Swarm working properly ? Taking almost 10 minutes before it starts rendering a fairly simple scene doesnt make any sense
