Hi all,
I know this may seem a stupid question but hopefully someone can help.
I don't have room for a render farm and just want a cheap node to sit on my desk.
I have been offered the oppterunity to purchase a HP Proliant DL380 G5 with 2 x Xeon e5450 3.0ghz and 32gb ram very cheaply. I would want to use it as a render slave for Vray and Corona however, my workstation is a core i7 4770k with 32gb ram.
I was wondering two things:
1./ When rendering in distributed rendering can i use my workstation and the HP rack server together to render a single frame providing better speed through more buckets, or does one just the server have to render leaving the pc free to be used while rendering. I would like to speed up rendering by combining the two.
2./ If i just render with the HP rack server how much slower will it be roughly vs my workstation ?
Thanks in advanced
