How to set up Slave Machines for Distributed Rendering?

(1/5) > >>

clonk2u:
How I was wondering if anyone knew and could elaborate upon the proper steps to set up slave machines for the new distributed rendering system?

Also, do you need 3DS Max installed on slave machines?

Thank you for your time spent regarding this question!

The Syndicate:
Assuming you have your slave machines/LAN already setup, you can choose to install the DrServer when you run the A6 installation exe. I did get the following error message when I tried to open it:

Cannot open/read/write file ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona\Drserver/drData/DrConfig.txt'

If you get this message, try running the DrServer.exe as an adminstrator. Have yet to actually run anything quite yet, but I hope that helps someone out there!

You do indeed need Max installed on the slave machines.

I just did a test, rendering from home using my work machines as slaves. I was shocked to find that it actually works!

Yes, working for me too.

You must, on the instalation of Corona, check de DR option.
Then, open on the slave computer the DrServer on: C:/Program Files (x86)/Corona/DrServer as Administrator.

On the Master computer, Enable Distribute Rendering on Corona and click Search LAN, it should find the Slave computer.
Then just Render :D

Also:

You need to have all the textures in the slave computer with path for it.
