When we first switched to Windows 7 I remember reading that the concurrent connection limit was raised from 10 to 20. There was also a registry setting which allowed setting the number to any number. Back then it didn’t matter to us that much as we had fewer than 20 DR slaves. Now that we have aroun…

aha. Thank you for the reminder. We have 10 licenses. There must be a few others tied up so I’m not getting 800+ buckets. Not that I’m complaining. It’s total overkill. With that many buckets, there is a balance to the size of the buckets; too large and you’re stuck waiting for 1% of the last bucke…

I didn’t think you could use multiple machines to calculate pre passes?

It takes a while to transfer the scene to all the render slaves; it is entirely possible that by the time the scene is transferred to some of the slaves, the others have already finished calculating the irradiance map. With that many machines, using brute force as the primary engine makes a lot mor…

I had no idea that Windows 7 allowed more than 10 concurrant connections. This was one of the main reasons (a few years ago) that we invested in a server running Small Business Server so that we could have more connections at any one time (you needed to buy CAL licesnes to allow more connections tha…

Just a side note question… From long I was told - and I experimented that Distributed DR is a lot slower than Distributed Tile rendering. Can u do a test on hard image with ur DR vs distributed tile rendering please? - u have to precalculate GI for tile rendering so it matches btw… Let me know, th…

we do not precalc the GI. We use IR+BF and it matches fine. It’s only LC that you have to save out to file. @Tricky . Yes, I’m sorry to say, you could have been running a simple windows 7 box the whole time. A few years back, we asked IT about getting server OS for our workstations for the same reas…

Do you mean rendering to Strips via Backburner? We have trouble with strips as we like to use layered EXR, and now VRImg with ProEXR 1.7, no need to convert. Plus, with DR and IR+BF, we don’t have to save a precalc’d file.

@Tricky , Its annoying to think that you dont need to use windows server, of course the server version have lots more features, I dont know many 3d companies that actually run domain controllers on there server either. SBS 2011 Essentials lets you connect 25 machines, with out the issue of cals. not…
