View Full Version : Mission a.k.a. mental ray Impossible: network rendering os x
capin_crunch 07-16-2004, 07:36 PM Your mission if you choose to accept it, find a program/utility that can handle distrubted rendering on os x using mental ray for maya. It has be compatible with Maya 6 ie mental ray 3.3.1, and hopefully the licensing is free of charge. I ran into this link on highend3d.com http://www.highend3d.com/boards/showthreaded.php?Cat=1,2&Board=mayaanimation&Number=33344&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=
and the closest thing I can see was a program called Rush. If anyone has any ideads about network rendering on os x using maya 6 give me a shout. I'll have "special" brownies waiting for you. :P
cheers

Unfortunately, SEB does not work with Maya 6 yet & never did work as a network rendering solution for Maya 5 on OSX. Only batch rendering on one CPU.
I Emailed them a few weeks ago to find out when their next version for OSX would be released & they told me this month. Hopefully it will be be the full deal. :deal:
Cheers :thumbsup:

You took the idea of emailing those guys right out of my mouth. Hopefully the new version will be out this month, ie July 2004. /me crossing fingers.
