Topic awaiting preservation: Pov network rendering? (Page 1 of 1)

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.

InI.
By 'client' you mean monitor I guess?
are you sure that you set up the
rendering enviroment correctly. I
think if you start the servers and
the manager in the wrong order it
doesn't work.


I had problems with backburner.
We hooked up 14 computers. Installing
max on every one which takes some time and then
when we tried to netrender It only worked on one
computer. mmm...great.
Somehow what ever I did the 'use all servers'
checkbox in the render dialog were greyed.

ok just a quick check,

not wanting to make you look dumb or anything but there are different versions of max within each version..

i.e.

a.Single workstation license
b.stand alone workstation license

there is a subtle difference...

if you try network rendering with a standalone license it wil not network render no matter what you try, however it will see and be seen by other ws's with max installed, thats why the box is greyed out in most cases.

so first off check which license system is actually runing on each workstation, and also i am pretty sure that the demo (although fully featured is blocked on network rendering)

also check permissions on the system running max; i.e. is it allowed to have remote systems running processes on it????

just a few thoughts, if i can think of anything else io will drop you a line ini in q, hope this helps some.
