It seems that there is no hard drive in that IKEA cabinet / computer case : only a network hard disk. Is it right ? Therefore, how are the rendering CPU tasks dispatched to all the cores ? I belive that tSNet drives trueSpace sessions launched on every PC. How will it manage that Linux system ? Do we need tSNet here BTW or are the calculations driven by an other way ? So many questions that require an answer before I start to build that render farm for good ! :D Post by jayr // May 14, 2008, 8:26am jayr Total Posts: 1074 I hope we'll get network rendering built into the workspace or with a plugin when the sdk is released, it'll give me a reason to keep old pc's around. I wonder if it could be done with a script?
