[quote=gfa2]I use a free program called PStools to start and stop the other 9 DR computers. I created some batch files that use PStools so I don't have to wonder around my office messing around with the other computers. The only real problems that I've had with DR is that I can't get the DR computers to read the imagemaps off of the network so I have to copy them local to each PC (batch files again, but it's kind of a pain).

interesting gary, so what was your trick in getting vray's dr to work so easily with viz05? did you follow those steps mentioned on the chaos forums? i tried that, but like i said earlier, after i replaced the vray dummy file into my viz root dir with one i made from running backburner. i engaged the spawner, and it instantly diplayed an error and said it was shutting down. i guess my main reason for this thread, however is to get a response from others who have tried both spawner and backburner with vray. and what i am gaining or missing by going either way. after the 15 minutes i had this afternoon to experiment with bb i figure if that works why not go with it?
