Hi everyone. Me and my partner have a small studio. At this time each one of us has as workstation a core2quad 6600 with 8gb RAM. We are planning to start a mini renderfarm, and for now we will buy 2 intel i7 with 12gb RAM. My question is: What is the best setting for this four machines? the two i7s as our workstation and the two quad 6600 as render nodes (one of them as server). Our should it be quad 6600 as workstation and i7 for render node. If i7 is the workstation, it should have a good video card right? I´m not sure about this but I think LC and IM can´t be calculated with the renderfarm help, in this case it would be better to use i7 as workstation. But, if I uncheck "multi-threading" for rendering in my workstation (so that I can still work on this machine), the best option is to have quad 6600 as workstation, and i7 working 100% as render node. Well, I´m not sure about all this, I would appreciate if you could help.

Hello, I looking to bring down render time of this image. Please give some ideas how to do this. I also suspect that there might be some tricky switch somewhere, beceause scene is rather simple (except xref 230mb tree) IrMap: low LC: 400, 4pases ImageSampler: DMC min:1 max:2 AA: Mitchell-Netraval and it turn out to be 4.5 hours! on quad intel q8200, 8gb, asus. at first it was crashing after it reached 5.6gb, but then I found this dynamic memory 400MB limit, and set it to 7GB. also some spots showed upupper left area?, also it is bit too dark, so I think I need to convert to gamma workflow(nightmare) one direct light, enviroment ovrd 2.0, vray sphre wth light mtl inside(as a sky) ____________________________________________________ To summ up: 1. What do you thik about render time of it? 2. Where the color pixels coming from? 3. Is there easy way to convert scene form non managed to gamma2.2? 4. How do you like it, what you see? Help me.
