AccuRender nXt

advanced rendering for AutoCAD

We are seriously looking into purchasing a rack of render nodes (minimum of 48 cores).

Would I need the render farm software to run a render on the nodes and if so, how would I set it up?

I think I may have got it working by pointing all the farmers to the same shared folder. However I now seem to have another issue: The number of tasks is greyed out and although it says 10, it is only sending one task.

I've sorted this one as well. The rendering was set to use the standard engine.

Let me know how the multiple office thing goes-- that hasn't been attempted AFAIK (and wasn't really designed or tested for it).  I have heard rumors that folks have been doing cloud rendering using the farm...

It's all working perfectly.

You just have to make sure that all the farmers point to the same folder. I achieved this over  the network by mapping the shared folder to a drive letter on each of the London machines.

I also put the Farmer software in the Startup folder so that it launches automatically.

I found that even if you don't want to use the host computer to render, you still have to have it running as a farmer and then suspend it.

Good to hear.  

That last bit is curious-- it shouldn't be behaving like that.  What happens if you don't have the farm rendering on the "host" machine?  (Host in quotes because there really isn't a single machine controlling things here-- everybody is a free agent-- anyone can write a job to the shared folder and any farmer can pick up a task.)  Anyway-- this is something I can test here.

Maybe I'm wrong. It may have just been coincidence after setting something else up. I'll ask the guys in London to do a bit of testing.
