Mental ray Distributed Rendering?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have been trying to put two computers that have Viz 2005 to do distributed rendering with mental ray, I have like ten computers that I can use with Radiosity, but I cant seem to make it work with mental ray...both of them have licence, I am not using the backburner,

I have already made the "rayhost" file where I have the names of the two computers, but when I send to render, a connection error says that the computer refused the conection, even my own computer says it refused the conection.....I have done all I can but it does not work....If anybody can help, thanks in advance!.....

Carlos,

 

Mental Ray Distributed rendering (DBR) only works with the standalone version of mental ray. If you have licensed versions of VIZ you cannot use them for DBR.

 

You should and can use network rendering with the "Split Scanline" option.
