network render

[vise672000]

hi!
little question about version 1.7

i'l like to know if version 1.7 can render in a network in cooperative mode (like maxwell render)
i need to use multiple pc's to render the same frame

big thanks

Kray can use the same GI data acessable by many machines so they all render different frames of the same animation but you cant use many machines to cooperate on the same frame so far. There is also an experimental kray.exe to be used by butterfly netrender but that's what it is so far, experimental.
If or when bucketing is implemented it would be possible to let many machines do their part of a large image and send back the result. Since kray is very fast there havent been any demands by users so far for bucketing, but speeding up single frames or animations is what many people ask for. This priority might be changed in the future but so far bucketing is on the "list of things" to do but not high priority.

thanks so much!

i think i'll need cooperative mode because i don't know how fast is new release but if you say it's fast enough i think i'll buy it
