net-Render a single frame

[warprat]

Hello,

 

At the moment I have to render out a 6600 x 4800 res image. It's an interior shot. I have 30 shots of different spaces. I need to know how to render a single image using Backburner. Is this possible? my setup is

 

Studio max 8

Vray 1.5rc3

2.4 quad core

2gb ram

8800 nvidia graphics

net rendering on a single machine is easy, you just run backburner manager and server on the same machine.

 

With the size of your rendering though, if you have more machines available I would look into strip rendering through backburner and using more than one machine.

2gb of ram really isnt a lot for that size rendering also... I would not recommend checking 'include maps' when you submit the jobs.. Might eat up too much of your memory.

Use netrender, and when you click render the netrender dialoge box pops up. Use the strip rendering option. This will take your large image and split it up among the other computers on the network, then it will stitch them back together after all of the strips are done rendering. (Be sure your light calculations are being read from a file so you won't get different light solutions that were stitched back together.)
