I'm wanting to setup a Mental Ray render on 2+ servers but I can't install Maya.
I've been reading heavily through the forums about network rendering and things like Butterfly, smedge, RUSH, muster etc... which I've gone to most of those sites and read on.
I want to know if I can install some standalone network renderer that works with Mental Ray.
Can I use something like butterfly (BNR) and install a single stand alone copy of Mental Ray (3.3?) on the server machine and have the others execute off that.
Or does each machine need a client and copy of Mental Ray standalone?
