The Goal slider beneath the bar can be adjusted dynamically to add or remove assigned machines during the rendering process. More detailed information on the Current usage bar is displayed upon mouse-over. The blue marker displays what part of all available machines are rendering the job, and the red marker shows the machines currently occupied with another job. If a render node machine's V-Ray version differs from that of the local host machine, V-Ray Swarm uploads the needed builds automatically and ensures that all the render nodes use the same V-Ray build. This is noted in both the Progress Log and the Current Usage bar located in the Swarm settings section.Īll scene assets need to be transferred from the local machine to each render node machine before they can begin working on the job. Preset sizes Renders the active viewport the selected pixel resolution. Type the custom width and height resolution in pixels.

Custom () Renders the active viewport using the custom resolution. Once the render process is initiated, machines marked with the selected tags load the scene and assist with the rendering. Viewport () Renders the active viewport the active viewport using the pixel size of the viewport.

The new Progressive caustics solver uses advanced sampling techniques, and is able to trace as many photons as required without suffering the memory constraints of traditional Photon Mapping techniques. Tags allow you to tag this node with a descriptor that defines something about the machine, which we can later use to selectively control from inside of Rhino.įor example, tags can denote if this machine is one of a few that have a powerful GPU, or if a machine is not a workstation and a node on a render farm.įor information on how to use Tags, see the Swarm Configuration page. V-Ray supports the rendering of caustics effects by using one of the following techniques: photon mapping or progressive.
