I’d like to know if it’s possible to send an animation sequence to a render node that’s running Vantage, the machine in question is set up as a render node.
Hi Devin,
Currently you cannot send data from Vantage to be rendered on a different machine. You can however open the scene in Vantage on that render node machine and render a specified frame range. Would that work out for you?
Best regards,
Alexander
I know that’s an option but it means I’ll have to buy full licenses for all the plugins I use just so I can open the scene in Max and send the file to Vantage. I’m already paying for render node licenses on those machines, I’d be happy to just pay for a Vantage render node license, is that not possable?
You can change ports and initiate live link , vantage will open on a different computer on the same network. Files should be on a shared drive. I remember I did this before.
Correct me if I’m wrong but won’t I still be limited to one connection at a time, I want to be able to use more than one machine at a time to render.
How would I do this?
Hi devin,
If your render node machine works under Windows, has a suitable GPU, then simply log in there, install Vantage and open your scene. From the Render setup dialog set the Frame range that you wish to render out.
Best regards,
Alexander
