This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

I came across the same question. too bad yours hasn´t been answered! I got maya unlimited installed on 8 machines on our renderFarm. I wrote the renderClients into the maya.rayhosts file, like

render1:7103
.
.
.
render8:7103


the first thing is - I don´t quite know how to start a render with this setup, cause batchRender renders on my own pc, despite I unchecked -> "render on this machine".


there are a lot of explanations out there how to setup with mr standalone. but I found no simple "howTo" for rendering with a satelite system.


any help would be cool!


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Satellite was/is broken in Maya 7. I don't know if it has been fixed in Maya 8.
