Hi, they are an architecture company and use blender internal renderer. tile dispatching over nodes is a very complex task and IMO not optimal for rendering times. many calculations needs to be done multiple times or transported between machines. Texture need to be tiled etc. I am very aware of gustafson's law.
The simple netrender products (Yadra) can not handle single frame jobs. DrQueue is capable of doing this, but is not that easy to configure and control. For studios this feature is not that useful and I agree that people can misunderstood this as per tile render dispatching but that is not my goal. Jeroen.
