Hello. I´ve been looking at this page for the setup of satellite rendering: http://xsisupport.com/category/satellite/
And I did set up "services" file on: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ Adding the line: mi-raysatsi2012_3_9_1_38 2564/tcp #mental ray satellite Autodesk Softimage That "2564" it´s the PID number that shows up when I execute the services running on the task manager. So I figured that it will be the port which the Master would talk to the slave. I set this on the ray3host file, and the name of the slave. I allowed this connection through the firewall by adding a new rule like the video mentioned, but no. It didn´t work. So I went on and setup the port on 7027 like the video mentioned, also in these 3 places: Services file Ray3host file Windows firewall - allowing connection through that port. Then I activated SI2012 and opened a particular heavy-to-render file. Checked the log options on both: preview and render manager. Log only displays normal local render: "' INFO : JOB 0.16 progr: 44.1% rendered on 3DCompositor.16" No other names on the log. The name of the machines are: 3DCompositor, 3DCompositor2, 3DCompositor3. These are the PC machine names, running windows 7. These names are the same on the local netgroup (named: postproduction). So after all these setups, I looked for a solution on other posts/pages but most of the posts on AREA talk about max or maya. Could anyone help me out as to what´s left to complete to have satellite rendering on these 3 machines? Thanks. David R.
