Nice to have everyone sharing their renderfarm info. Seems like RR is the trend...

Not a huge deal to make the server static. I was cringing at having to change all my client's pc's to static. :) I am working on a experiment that uses my clients pc's networked to make render farms for all my clients. Sort of a render commune. :) On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Sandy Sutherland <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Our actual server machine that we are running RR off is static - but all our workstations are dynamic. The LX nodes are static mainly as we deploy them by script and ssh onto them using their ips - which match the name - egg1 for e.g. is 192.168.1.101. So yes it definitely does work - I think that the guide is aimed at setting the server to static. RR uses the hardware address on the machines - we found this out when we got confused when a machine we renamed appeared as the old name - it picked it up out of the client database using its HW address.

Are you using RRserver? If it does work with DHCP, that would be great.

The one thing that stopped me from trying Royal Render is that you must have a static IP address on all machines. It does not support DHCP, as far as I can tell. And, since I am using DHCP....

The system I'm trying to use is a remote render service called REBUS. rebusfarm.net<http://rebusfarm.net>. I've found it so far to be fairly straightforward. It has a check feature that will go through and verify everything is cool before sending. There are not really any options to choose, it just sends the whole scene. Speed seems good and the manager app is decent for pulling files back off the server. We used it with Maya on a job last year and it worked fine. REBUS is the only online renderer that I have found that supports Softimage 2013.
