Hi!
I would like to know how to render a still frame over a network. I know how to net render an animation, but how to render only one frame with several machines? I was wondering if it's possible to cut a frame image by the number of render nodes, they render each piece and give the render server them back so that the server build the render images back in one frame. Is this possible? Like, if you have a dual or quad system, the render give pieces of the image to each processor to render it, so, I was wondering if you could make that but not in the same machine but with diferent over a network. Can this been made with Maya only or I have to have Mental Ray standalone version? If I wanna render with "Maya Software" or "Maya Hardware", how would I make that over a network?
Is this too confusing?
Thanks!! :thumbsup:
