[Cad64]

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it's working so well.

thank you for pointing me in the right direction! if it wasnt for your advice i'd still be stuck here twiddling my thumbs waiting for things to render..

loads loads better, a render that used to take 8 hours to do is taking about 10-15 mins, im really impressed by it

 

Hell Yeah! I'm ganna jump now from top of our building that render time from 8h to 10-15m. arhhhh!!!!!!!!! I shoud hit my head just to be sure this in not a dream!!!! Thats really cool, a render farm in your palm its like having the orb of power. hahaha

could this be used

i think back burner limit is 24 cores

so 4 xeons?

[Cad64]

There is no limit really, you just have to run backburner on a server. If you're running it on a non-server PC then you will be limited to the number of PC's that can be included in the farm. I think the number of PC's that can be on a non-server render farm is something like 10 or less.

its funny how that works

i went to a university once

and i took the technology tour

 

i went to the High Performance Computing section "HPC"

and they had Massive high performance servers, "School is a certified HPC education site"

"Parallel computing"

anyways later i went to the Game design and animation

the teacher had a Xeon Desktop and said " i think i got something, i left this on all night rendering i just hope it didnt crash... oh yeah it did"

I find it funny how the HPC section is only about 80 feet away, why dont they just borrow some of their servers

[Cad64]

I bet the "High Performance" guys don't want the "Gamers" playing around with their precious hardware.
