3ds max mental ray tile rendering over internet

Deadline
1

hello,

I read in the deadline manual and in the FAQ that is generally possible to render tiles with 3ds max, mental ray and deadline as render manager. So my question now is, can I implement in deadline a remote controled machine/ can I implement machines via internet connection (especially an DSL 6 Mbit/s connection)? If it is possible does there exist anywhere a description or a little tutorial/ can someone write it or do I only have to follow the instructions in the deadline manual?

kind regards
thiesi

Hi Thiesi,

Deadline relies on file sharing for communication, so as long as your Deadline client machines can access the Deadline Repository over the Internet (as well as any resource and output paths), then theoretically this should work. I should note though that Deadline’s performance will be directly related to your connection speed, and odds are you will experience some slowdown, especially if you’re rendering large Max scenes, or are rendering scenes that access large textures.

Cheers,
