Render farm with different 3DS MAX versions


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I have one question about rendering in my small farm.

I'm using MAX 2017, but sometimes I need to use 2014 because some plugins are not running in new versions, so I also need to render from 2014.

 

Is it possible that my farm computers can recognise which version should be run for rendering? ...for example if I render from 2017, farm will use 2017, or if I use 2014 it will run 2014 version...

 

Thanks,

Yes, both Backburner and Deadline will handle that just fine.

 

(Although Deadline servers will dequeue jobs for max versions that aren't installed on them - this hasn't been a problem in the past with unlimited netrendering, but given the new 2018 Arnold licensing for max it might be annoying).
