I get two "N" blocks showing on the host machine (the render node
it a daul CPU system remember), and then the host machine sits and
waits for those blocks to render...but they never do (don't even start
rendering)...now I say never...but I haven't actually left it any
longer then about 5min...should it take any longer then 5min? (To start
rendering the "N" blocks that is). The scene I'm rendering is a 16sec
animaton with full raytracing...so it's got lots of work to do.
Hmm, the one thing no one has mentioned yet - is that the N blocks never
look like they are doing anything. What I mean by that, is the ones on your
host machine show line by line as they are rendering, but the N blocks don't
do
that. They just sit there until they are done and then BLIP they disappear
and show up in the next spot to be rendered. They are always slower to do
their job than the host machine blocks (unless your render machine for some
reason was your super fast CPU and your host machine was a slow dog of a
machine,
I guess). Anyway, I remember the first time I got it going (network
rendering) I thought something was wrong, until one of the gray blocks
disappeared
and showed up further down the picture (and I could see that the area where it
had first been was done).
So, walk away and come back in awhile and see if those weren't actually
rendering? If your remote computer is really slow, sometimes it can actually
slow down the render instead of helping.
