That way, you can for example have 3 jobs or views rendering at the SAME time on different systems AND they can be qued to render more jobs Do that with different renders, assinging each time a different slave (that is not already participating in a render), each one in turn using different DR slaves. For example you can send a job to a single BackBurner server which in turn will use for example 3 of your nodes to render. When one render is done, the next one will start and so on. You can que up all your renders even from different jobs and then go home. That server in turn will use DR to render your image. So for example you setup DR in the render and then send the job to BACKBURNER using only 1 server. If you need to render couple images, you can que them with backburner AND use DR Here is a link to check out some help resources about network licensing for V-Ray: Edited Augby braddewaldĪnother nice thing about backburner when you have many nodes, lets say for example 10 nodes, is this: Note that you won't get a light cache preview - that's normal behavior.Īlso, are you sure you have your render node set up to read the license on the host computer on the network? (Windows Start > All Programs > Chaos Group > V-Ray Standalone for 圆4 > Change V-Ray Client license settings.)

So basically you would be running the GUI on your main workstation but the node would be doing all the work.

Try unticking the box in the DR settings called 'use local host' and see if that works. So it sounds like if you want to use a node, you can't also be using your local machine. In order to use additional computers for rendering though, you will now have to purchase additional V-Ray 3.0 Render nodes.

The rendering can be performed either on the same machine where the GUI license is used, or on another machine in the network. By purchasing 1 copy of V-Ray 3.0 Workstation for 3ds Max, users get the ability to use V-Ray’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) for editing their settings on one machine and also to render on one machine as a Render Node.
