Rendering : Single Frame Network Rendering

[mrapelje]

With brazil you can do a distributed frame render.

in all fairness - base max will do this as well - when using the SFNR script :

Final Render will do it as well.

mental ray can as well, so can vray

Thanks!

better with dual cpu or two computer and run Single Frame Network Render?

Wow that indeed was some intensly difficult english to translate :)

The answer depends on your needs I think. If you're perfectly happy with a single-CPU machine but need more renderingpower, then by all means go buy an additional computer and hook it up via netrendering. And you can easily add to that solution by buying more computers.

But if you'd like to get more power when not rendering, going dual-CPU might just make you happy. MAX is fairly multithreaded so it'll often spread the load out on both CPUs for optimal performance.

All this is taking the economy into account, going dual costs more than running with two seperate machines in the long run. And they're harder to upgrade. If you just want the best by all means go the dual-route :)

I'm running dual-CPU machines and... frankly I'm not sure how much use I have of the 2nd CPU. I tend to keep my scenes pretty lightweight, so it's mostly during rendering I need the power. And I think I can almost as easily have two seperate computers for that.

Thank you in order to you took a time and write information ! :)
I have two computers and the second the computer haven´t got graphic-card but I fixes it as can I try Single Frame Net Render and see if it works nicely. I want to render faster than usual in order to save time maybe it goes good with Brazil with correct configurations in order to render quick with raytrace + reflection?

I have a scen with lots lights and it takes long time to render 24h render :) have you something good hint how I can render it faster maybe with something program ?
