Team Renderer With Corona

(1/2) > >>

GazzaMataz:
Hi All

I am completely new here and this is my first ever post so if I get things wrong be patient :-)

I have installed the demo version of Corona on my PC and I wondered if I could use the same demo version on my Mac mini using team renderer?

No I realise that the demo is probably not a demo but a time limited full version of the app. I have checked in Team Renderer on my Mac mini and is shows Corona but it says it is not activated. Can someone tell me how to activate it or is it a case of having two Corona licences or something else?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi GazzaMataz,

For Corona Render to work on a team render machine, you need to have the same Corona Render version installed as the Team Render server and a render node licence (each node needs its own licence). As far as I remember, you can't team render with Corona on a demo version.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Cambridge. Bit like using Redshift on C4D under Team Render you need another licence. About the only time you don't need another licence is when you use plain old Standard Renderer. Does all seem a bit moneytary…

Hi, a single trial license is 1 GUI license + 1 render node license. This means that you can display the UI of the software on 1 machine and render on 1 machine. This also means that if you are using one machine to only display the software UI (and not render) and another machine to only render (and not display the software UI), then it should work.
So Team Render will work for sending jobs to a different machine and rendering. It will not work for 2 computers contributing to a single rendering, because for this you would need 2 render node licenses.

GazzaMataz:
So if I had a lot of rendering to do I would need to buy say a monthly licence for my other machine which is roughly £57 per month? I have a year licence on my main computer. All seems like a lot of money per month for rendering…
