How to get redshift+c4d instances working

Hi there,

Pretty new into AWS. Currently running C4D R23/RS project files, however there is no RS/C4D package inside the spot fleet. Any idea how to render C4D files with Redshift? Don’t want to make proxies because of the huge data.

Further my portal/asset serverer connnection works. But my spot fleet isn’t picking up files in the queue either, but one step at a time…

Much love for anyone to help me out!

Hello!

I’m going to assume you’re running the AWS Portal? If you’re looking for an Amazon Machine Image (a virtual machine image, but for EC2) with a combination of software that we don’t provide you’ll have to customize your own. We’ve got steps on how to do that right here.

As for the machines not picking up jobs, try right clicking on the job in the Monitor and picking ‘Find Render Candidates’. That should show you all the Workers that are allowed to pick up that Job. If there are Workers that aren’t allowed to pick up the job it should explain why.
