Ok.. I just want to clear something up.. Currently you can generate a vrscene file and render that vrscene file on the farm then have a vrimgtoexr convert at render. This is a 3 step process.. The other way of rendering it would be by using maya batch and have it spit out out a multichannel exr, …

From my limited testing, Maya in batch mode did not look for a Maya license in any way, but perhaps someone else can confirm for certain. Best regards, Vlado

you can also render on a farm using a .vrscene directly to png, jpg, exr with channels and with seperate layers btw

what renderfarm managment software do you use? or is it a in-house setup? if you dont mind me asking? chris

@ mr furious: Can you explain what is “a zipped data box”? Which compression type does it equate to in the render settings? We found that “Scanline ZIP” ( which seems to be the same as “default” ) gives us the best load times in nuke for single channel exrs, but not for multichannel. For multichanne…

As far as I understand you have unlimited licenses to render maya software (render -r sw) so I guess if you want to render with vray your vray licenses are the limit. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Network-license-using-maya-batch-and-maya-software-renderer-Maya/td-p/2822978 h…

This sort of ties into what you guys are talking about. I’m on the educational licence, can I utilise another machine to help render a single image, or to render out one frame on one machine and one on another ?
