FumeFX network rendering

#1

Hey All,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to simulate fume across a network of computers? Ive been running my simulations on one machine, but would like to speed up the process. Thank you in advance if anyone can help me out with this question.

You can only simulate on one machine at a time.

Do this with Backburner Mode

Set up your Backburner job as you normally would. ie start you node(s), start server/monitor/manager

Switch Fume to Backburner Mode, submit it by starting a single frame network render.

Something you can sometimes do is to divide your simulation in slices and simulate each slice on a different computer., but keep in mind that every slice will be independent for the simulation itself (they will not affect each other).

You can use a script called FumeFX partitioner for that:

Awesome! Thanks, Ill try that out.
