Question

Running multiple instances of aerender.exe

I'm running a local render farm in my studio, with my own deticated software that distributes compositions acros workstations and renders them with aerender.exe. 

Each workstation runs only 1 instance of aerender, when trying to run 2 or 3 on heavy projects the render are super slow and they often crash.

I want to increase the capacity for my renders, and don't want to buy more workstations,Instead I'm in the search for a monster of a server that can handle at least 12 instances of aerender(I know it's possible for small projects, mine are super heavy and complex)

Is it something that anyone here tried ? there is no much documentation around this subject with preformance testing.  

 

Thanks 

Elad

Sadly there's not much documentation on this. Did you write your own render manager or are you using a out-of-the-box solution?
