Today I have spent time with Modo "network rendering" and my little "renderfarm" (4 machines). First It seemed that nothing happends, but after many try outs I got it to work! Now it's rendering with all machines but solution was weird, I recorded video from it, so maybe it can help you too. Now my little renderfarm rendering a little bit faster 🙂
Let me know if you get it to work with this same solution, drop comment or something...
Ps. Sorry about my finnish accent and a little bit unclear pronunciation in video 🙂
Thanks so much, Kari! This did the trick, in SP4 too. I hope Luxo has fixed the animation problem in the newest release.
This really work in 601 sp3 too. Thanks for sharing this solution.
Oh, I haven’t tested it yet with SP3. Thanks for notice.
There is still problems with Network Rendering if you try to render animations. With single images they work fine, but with animation slave machines drops out of the game in some time after started. I rendered one of mine animation “Silkkinen Shampoo” with network rendering and noticed this. But that was with SP2, didn’t tested animation rendering yet with SP3.
