New Render Farm Build (273)

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Brings the render farm up to date with respect to the current stable version.

 

You won't be able to render fog using the farm unless you have version 273 or greater of AccuRender nXt (coming shortly.)

Roy, I have a question: for the render farm, does the network server need to mount Win32 or 64 or it could also be a network storage device such as Cisco or similar? I mean, should it just guest the "farm directory"?

Thanks

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Hard to say-- you'll need to try it.  In theory, any shared folder accessible as a network device should work.  I believe the path has to have a UNC form (for example \\Machine Name\Shared Folder\.) The folder must have read/write access and all passwords need to be taken care of beforehand (nXt has no provisions for password protection.)

However, the farm mechanism does rely heavily on Windows-style file and folder locking, so it's possible that it may fail on a non-Windows network device.  The type of failure you get may be intermittent and difficult to predict.
