Autodesk Backburner and Network Rendering

[Jreed129]

Our team has been using this process for a few years now hope this helps

FIRST you have to have manager open on the main computer you want to run everything from.

you then have to open server on all the computers you want to render on and make sure they connect to the computer that has manager open.

go back to the computer you are runnning everything from and open your scene in max.

go to render setting and in the common panel in the render output section there is a check box for net render. (also make sure you specify where you want to save your output files.)

click render

network job assignment window opens

set the subnet mask to whatever the manger computer's is.

click connect

all the computers should show up on the top section of the window.

click submit and your job should start rendering

open monitor

click on the green plug in upper left

type in manager's ip address/computer name or auto find under the subnet mask

from there you should be able to see if everything is working properly and how long it is take per frame to render.
