Hi,
Is it possible to link to Mac Pros to have faster rendering in RA ?
If yes, could you explain precisely how ?
thanks
Antoine

Hi Sanjin,
It already uses all 8 cores at 100% here.
I'm trying to find if i can connect two Mac Pros together for Clipfinder rendering.
Thanks
Antoine

It seems there is no out-of-the-box solution yet. Why don't we start a request to H. G. Daun to develop something – not for free any more, but for a reasonable fee?
I'd be ready to subscribe!

Hans is already developing PMDR (poor man's distributed rendering) for the next version of Clipfinder.

If anybody urgently needs distributed rendering, I'm happy to give them a link to an alpha version of Clipfinder 2.2.
They just have to promise to be responsible and test features first before using them on real projects.
Mail me at the address given in the Clipfinder Help pages.
Cheers,
Hans
