This is a short video that will teach you how to use Blender Net Render. This is a program inside of blender that will use the network to render videos faster (render farm).

fucking get a mic, bitch
Hi… Is it possible to bake simualtions like fluid and smoke using slaves… And also physics baking…???
Thanks in advance….
Can i do this on two laptops ?
I hate your cursor but thanks for the tutorial. Also, if you have 2 computers then its not worth it as you cant render it on master computer.
How can I bake textures using this.??
hmm ..i try this one but when i check the result the file is in .exr..why is this?
i got shitload of exr files and when i convert one of them… then its turining into jpeg with full-black backgroud – NOTIHNG…
Hi, it's strange because when I send my job, it generate .exr empty files… 🙁
can you set this up to change a video format? format x to mkv
works if one pc has 64 bits blender and the other 2 32 bits blender ?
Wow, really seems like a huge pain in the ass if ya ask me. Guess that's why they have paid services for this kind of thing XD
hi,
i have a question.
I have 2 PC: 1 linux + 1 win. I'm sending jobs but no render starts.
The file appear in win as Y:blahxyz
while on linux it's /mnt/x/y/z
Is the file is sent via network (with a directive to render frame X) or does the master have to find the file on the filer? The jobs specifiy the location of the file.
If so is it possible to point to the master the right place to find the file (path converted to what he knows)?
Information : If you want to render a single frame on multiple computers, use Loki render : http://sourceforge.net/projects/loki-render/
It's a really awesome java executable. Super easy to use (way more than Blender's network rendering addon) and has the ability to do tile rendering (separating one frame into multiple tiles to be dispatched in the network). You should definitely give it a try.
Important note you should mention in your video (maybe add an anotation) : the resulting frames are in exr format and if you open them with photoshop, it will show up black. To see the colors, open the image in Blender from the UV/Image editor or open an image sequence from the video editor.
Is there any way to render a single frame on multiple machines?
Hi, sorry to bother, but I have three questions
1) If the client requests for a job to be done, the master distributes the work to all its slaves and the slaves do the work, does the client and master work along with the slaves?
2) Does the net render involve multiple computers working simultaneously on a single frame? Or do they each work on their own?
3) My client and master runs on Windows, but my slaves run on Mac OS. Will network render still work if this is the case?
Thanks!!
Does this work for cycles?
You need to get a mouse mat! The sound of your mouse on your desk was driving me nuts by the end of this video! Excellent tutorial though, thanks!
May need to boost the volume on this. I have both my speaker volume and youtube volume at maximum and it's still very quiet.
Hi, I have 60+ macs connected to a Network on the same server, however I can't seem to connect the master computer to the client it say "client not found" or something, I haven't connected any slaves yet due to this issue. Any ideas?
i get this error when i click on the master -> Start Service, and cannot go any further because of this. Please help!

How can I use Net Render if my computers have a different Sub-Network?
The thing is:
My PC at home is the master and the client and the slaves are computers of my friends at their home. But if they enter the IP address and the port number of my PC (The master), Blender says: No master on this network. How can I fix that? Is it possible?
Helps a lot:D
Thank you much!
you are right.
and you cant hear his mouse moving/scrolling ;)))))))))))
