Can I do a distributed render only on the slaves?

thanks

This has been requested/asked repeatedly. You cannot do this using native Corona DR only, but you can submit a Backburner job to one machine with a scene in which other nodes are configured as dr slaves.

Good Luck

copy/paste from my comment before (from another thread):

Easy.
Lets assume you have computers ABCDE, BB = Backburner.
on your workstation, set DR render to use BCDE.
then send the file to BB and in BB select use only computer A.
as BB receives the job, it will use A and A will work with BCDE.

I use this method quite a lot and it lets me work on my workstation while others "DRF9BB" (Distributed Render - Renders - Backburner).

Thanks guys,

I assumed it wasn't possible.
I read the other posts and used the backburner trick.
Wanted to write a simple script for baking lightmaps and render them distributed. Somehow I can't get netrender and baking to work so I thought using slave via Corona would be a solution.

I have to find an other way.

Thanks for your time guys.
