Render Farms

phillip_gould

Hey all!

So I've been looking into the possibility of using a render farm for my bigger projects - it's a boatload cheaper than saving to build a new system.

I'm just wondering how it works. I know that I connect to a virtual machine, install DAZ on the created image, etc. But how does that work for content? Is there a certain way I need to save a project so that I don't have to install all the clothing/morph/texture files onto the virtual image?

Or is this a silly question and I'm missing something?

The simplest method is to use a farm that supports Iray Server, then you just enter the log-in credentials in the sub-tab of the Advanced tab of render Settinsg and let DS handle the data (sending MDL files).
