Annon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sorry kidding. You need lots of machines, lots of render nodes and lots of money and know how. Have you had a look at using a render farm service like Amazon EC2? http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1630 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourfather Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Have you read this already? http://www.sidefx.com/docs/hqueue12.1/ I've setup a few small render farms with HQueue. It gets the job done but requires some fiddling with and it isn't very scalable in my experience. It's a bit rough around the edges compared to other queue managers. Hopefully SESI puts some more resources into it in future releases because it's a very nice thing to have, especially at small studios.

Hopefully SESI puts some more resources into it in future releases because it's a very nice thing to have, especially at small studios. I've used it a couple of times mainly for distributing simulations and Amazon. It's basic, true, but this was its role as I understand. I've just cleaned up render farm database. 3500 jobs totaling 90000 tasks in a less than a month without a single fail or crash or restart or anything under SGE supervision in a rather small studio. Hard to compete with that. There are other good open source projects (Afanasy, Arsenal) and good amount of commercial products, hopefully SESI won't try to catch that . For start-up it's great to have HQueue near by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexSelivanoff Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 hi , anyone know how setup houdini renderfarm ? Try Afanasy render manager http://cgru.info/ . It is opensource and easy to setup. If you want to distribute fluid simulation, you should look at HQueue, I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's deadly easy to run, that's for sure. For Linux based render farm, with any technical stuff, the very last choice, albeit cheep one.
