quizzy Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Does anyone know a way to render one picture over multiple machines using network rendering?

STRAT Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 you cant. unless you find someone with a clever plug in / script, but i doubt it. the usuall way to do this is by using MP machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hi Quizzy, We've had this problem too. As far as I know it should have been in the latest max/viz version, but I guess it somehow fell out along the way... Anyway, we worked around this problem many times by rendering several blow-up's of the final image, i.e. divide the image in 4, 9 or 16 parts and retouch the image together in photoshop. It's the hard way, I know but since I am reworking some old scripts at the moment I don't have any time left to script that at the moment. But do remind me of it, I should be able to handle it. rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 Thanks nisus, i allmost started to work on such a script, but since i'm a beginner to max-script, its better if you could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted May 21, 2002 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2002 Alexander Bicalho, one of the Discreet developers, has written a plugin to do this: http://www.origamy.com.br/english/tools.html I too thought that this was supposed to have made it into VIZ4. I havn't had much time to play with it since the alpha/beta, so I don't know if it made it into the final release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quizzy Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 i allready tried to use that one but it only works under max/viz 3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted May 21, 2002 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2002 OK, I'm just going from the help file I had left over from the beta, as I don't have VIZ 4 installed on my work machine, but if you go here you should be able to access the Region Net Render Dialogs. Rendering menu> Region Net Render Rendering menu> Print Size Wizard> Click Region Net Render The feature is called Region Net Render. It's new and I'm almost positve it there. Can comebody confirm this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
