Default Re: Questions about Vray Distributed Rendering

humm, don't realy understand what you want DR to do for you.
DR = several computers connected on a local network to render one single frame.

if you do not get the 100% of the CPU of each machine, what is the point of having them to run together?, then, simply make each machine render one frame on it's own.

lets put it this way: one "dual core" pc can render a frame in 60.0 min on it's own, 2 x dual core pc's, working with DR, can render the same frame in 30.0 min, 10 x dual core pc's, working with DR, can render the frame in 6.00 min!!...this is the advantage of rendering with DR

DR gives you the chance to render one single frame FASTER by using several computers networking.

back to topic;

script: renderers.current.system_numThreads=4

this script is for quad cores machines, therefore the nr. 4 at the end. dual cores would use nr. 2 fo example. about your computers specifications.....dunno if you can us this script with a nr. 1 at the end or you simply need other specific script. more advanced members may help here

good luck daniel , you'll be very happy of you make it work this way.

greets Eric
