render a frame on 2 machines ?
 

Hi !

I have an old computer at home, and i wonder if i can use it to increase a bit the speed of my renderings... i dont do animations, so i want to render the same image on 2 different computers... is it possible somehow ???

thanks

Rigley,

Try using Splitrender. You can get the script from this website:


Here's a little info from the Flay listing:

Hope this helps,

thanks, i will try

For another solution, try amleto.

www.rayserver.com

This will do the split rendering, merge the image and it is very easy to install and use. It will automatically install the LWSN client on any client machine for you.

thanks rincewind !

it is really user friendly, cool program, i have downloaded the trial version... but it is a bit strange... there are some scenes, that doesnt render correctly... i have 2 clients (one on the server machine and one on another computer). The client on the server renders correcly, but the other machine only renders the backdrop... but there are scenes , where everything renders correcty... How can I solve this ?

I'm actually one of the developers on amleto.

Could you possibly e-mail the scene you're having trouble with?

sure, i will send you, as soon as i will get to my computer. but i have probs. with a lot of scenes. actually with very simple ones too... i use the newest 7.5c update of LW.. maybe this is teh problem ? i wiil try an older patch

I've sent you a pm with my e-mail address.

I've not tested with lightwave 7.5c yet, but i'll give it a try tonight.

anyone can help me with lightnet ? the justice build ?....

I've tried that but never worked....

in the mean time....I'm trying out all the softwares mentioned above...

great thread~
