To
accelerate
render times, SOLIDWORKS Subscription Services customers can share the effort of rendering
in PhotoView 360 across multiple computers.
Network rendering is also commonly referred to as distributed rendering or using a render farm. Network rendering uses client and coordinator machines.
|
Client machine
|
A machine running the PhotoView 360 Net Render Client.
|
|
Coordinator machine
|
A machine running SOLIDWORKS Professional with the PhotoView 360 add-in turned
on.
|
Using PhotoView 360 Net Render Client, you can initiate final renders on the Coordinator machine, which uses the processing power of the Client machines.
To perform network rendering, you must first install the PhotoView 360 Net Render
Client on the client machines. You do not need to install the SOLIDWORKS software on the
client machines.
You must have an active subscription license to perform network rendering. If
your license is inactive, click to reactivate an expired license.
