I can't get Mental Ray Satellite Working
Hi,
I'm running Maya 2009 & I'm new to network rendering. I know Maya lets you render on at least 4 additional cpus. I running XP x64 with an AMD Quad Core, so I figured I should use Mental Ray Satellite on the other 4 machines. -So I installed mental ray satellite on the other machines, -I put the names of the slave machines in the .rayhost file with the port number (7109) per Maya 2009, -I put that .rayhost file in the proper place in the directory on the master machine (C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\maya\2009-x64\prefs), -I opened port (7109) on the slave machines in Windows Firewall & on the master machine Now, when I go to the Task Manager on a slave machine, it shows the raysat2009server using 1988kb memory, but if I go to the services menu in Admin Tools, it doesn't show the raysat2009server at all. I open a command prompt and navigate to the bin dir where Mental Ray Satellite is installed & I type the raysat2009serve /query command, it says the server is running. I start rendering a frame on the master machine, & the script editor says it's using the .rayhost file that I placed in the prefs directory, just like it should. When I look at the Task Manager on a slave machine, the raysat2009server memeory usage isn't changing. The rendering takes exactly the same time as it did before I did all of the Satellite Stuff. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to put the master machine in the .rayhost file as well? How can I tell if the satellite machines are rendering? I'm stuck, please help!!! Thanks! :headbang: |
