Mini-ITX Render-node build write-up

#1

If anyone is considering a low cost, small sized, i7 render-node, then have a look a this quick write up I did on a recent node build.

Any questions let me know!

Nice little machine you have there, thanks for posting the link!

Are you planning to have any additional parts to your article, because honestly it just seems like any other ‘mini-itx’ build blog… nothing really to do with being an actual render node.

I would expect to see more about the software you use for your satellite rendering, how you set that up with your workstation… perhaps some tips or ‘how i handled this or that problem’ related to running and/or operating an actual render node. Even better yet, maybe some performance stats on something you’re working on with it… i dunno.

Not trying to be overly critical, but when you present the article as such I want to see more about the topic.

Hi Troy,

Yes I plan on writing a follow on article next, mainly outlining the software, installation, and other topics such as mapping network drives, network licences, distributed rendering for Vray, as I know a lot of people often struggle with this.

Give me a week or 2 and I’ll have it posted!
