Thinkbox does have that sales thing going on but as I remember there is annual license for $49 per slave. You install Repository on one machine it can be render slave as well but it is better to have it on dedicated server, and you install clients on render slaves. They connect to repository server over LAN and also you can even run it on different location so it can connect over web as well. But Assuming you have all in LANB lets stay on that. License server is also installed on server machine and other comp connects to it. Both repository and license server installations are fairly simple and straight forward. And that is it. You also have submission scripts that are installed with simple exe files and configured automatically for submitting render tasks from 3d apps. Other then that.. and yes it does have great redshift support allowing you to setup concurrent tasks and also GPUs per frame as well all from submission script and Deadline handles the rest.
Let me know if you need any other details. Also they have bin great as well providing even temporary licenses for testing out everything fully before buying so that is also doable to arrange with them as well. As soon as they answer email that is.. or phone I guess that could be faster. If you decide to go and try out that route feel free to call for any additional assistance with setup, although they have good support too but sometimes someone else can be faster ;) On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 4:34 PM, Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mirko, > > We are long time RR users but stuff like this might make us look > elsewhere.
