flashawd Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi - I am working on a project for a client and they need it in a high resolution and a little worried about rendering time to meet the deadline - and they have access to be able to log-in I guess to another computer for rendering. Have never heard of it, but they need to know if AM supports "grid/parallel computing" - has anyone ever heard of this or know. Thanks for the help on my other 4 posts today - you guys are great. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 3, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 3, 2008 First I'd make sure they know what they are talking about. What res do they want? And why? Is this for a still or an animation? I think the old "Eggslice" utility was able to divide up one high-res image into several different renders. If you had remote access to several computers (and got them to buy a license for each one... tell them it's only $49 per computer!) you might manage a large progect that way. But A:M does not by itself do true parallel computing, but the multiple instance technique does well in its place. I don't know if the webrender made for TWO is publicly avaialble. Tell them it does something better than grid computing... it does "multiple instance" computing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashawd Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi Robert - thanks for your reply - it is an animation they need at 1920x1080 - but it is actually rendering a lot faster than I thought it would - I have 4GB of ram... I need to have a little more faith in my computer. Great idea on the multiple instance idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
