Jonny English Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Does anyone out there know if Max 5.1 has a similar facility that I find very useful in Viz...'Region Net Render'. Using this I can send a single image to be rendered via several computers over the network and then join it back up into one single image..very quick and useful! But I can't find a similar command in Max. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Yep it is available if you have a max supscription, you can download the design extension which will add the viz tools to max Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny English Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi Craig We have Max 5.1 but I don't think it's via subscription, can we still get the tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I think its on the second CD, its a script. Or just find the architectural script topic in the script forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny English Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thanks Quizzy. Loaded it up and got the SFNR button on my toolbar, but what next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Sorry I have no idea... I use Vray to do net rendering Cant be that hard. Looks like you just fire up backburner on all your machines, hit new job in the region net render job manager box, set your number of slices, overlaping area, image size, file name, hit next, connect to all your render slaves then hit submit! Easy eh Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beowulf Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 if you get brazil r/s (or even the public test version), it has an option for bucket rendering which will do exactly what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hi beowulf, I have the public free beta of brazil but i'm sure that it doesn't do bucket rendering, it only works in the commercial version... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaz Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi, any way to assign 2 jobs in the same time, if i am using network rendering? this is the situation, I have about 14 angle of perspetive to render, and then we have 3 dual machine, currently I use them in network rendering, but, they only do one after another, so I was wondering whether any way to force 2 jobs on the same time using network rendering (so one machine can do 2 jobs concurrently), so I can save my timing and no need to open the file one by one render. sorry about my language, if you got confused:) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaz Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 hi, sorry, another info to add, i am using max 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny English Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hi All Well I managed to solve the problem 2 ways. Firstly I installed the free SNFR plugin that Quizzy suggested and it worked a treat! Secondly I found out about the Design Extension from Discreet that gave me all the Viz tools in Max for free!, including Net Region Render, so I am now using this great little tool!!!
