Hey all,
Well after a loooong time away for any 3d work, (far too long IMO)
I'm finally back at it. I've been working on an animation these past
couple weeks and in preperation for the inevitable long render I've
been doing a little upgrading. I finally took the plunge and put a
second processor into each of my (two) machines.
Firstly I want to say "Wow, my hat is off to the people at Eovia!
". The preformance increase with a second processor is astounding! I'm
rendering in anywhere from 1/4 to 1/5th of the time it would take
with just one processor (I did some benchmarking with and without the
second processor.) Like I said...astounding....I don't know how you
did it Eovia...but I love it!
Anyway...getting on to my problem, network rendering...it's always
worked for me in Windows 98SE, but since I upgraded to Windows 2000 it
doesn't seems to work (the Windows upgrade and the addition of the
second CPU were practically simultainous...I never tried network
rendering with just single CPU's). Sooo...here's what's happening:
- I launch the render from the batch renderer (with net rendering
checked of course).
- The scene file loads on the host machine.
- The render starts on the host machine whilst the scene file starts
loading on the render node machine.
- Once the render node machine finishes loading the scene file it
basically stops and does nothing...i.e. no "N" blocks start on the
host machine.
- If I abort the render then I receive this message: "Unable to
connect to render node located on () on port 5060"
- Now I checked the ports on the host (5020, 5040, 5060) and render
node (5020).
- My regular Windows network (file sharing etc) works fine.
- And all firewalls (that I know of...i.e. Zone Alarm) were turned
off.
What did I miss? Thanks everyone...I want to get this fixed so I
can get my animation all rendered off...then I might even upload it
for y'all.
