Offloaded Rendering

Offloaded rendering lets you send a rendering to another machine that uses the PhotoView 360 Net Render Client. Offloaded rendering frees up your computer while the rendering is calculated on another machine.

When you use offloaded rendering, two machines are required:

Coordinator

The machine running the SOLIDWORKS software and PhotoView 360. The coordinator must have a license of SOLIDWORKS Professional or higher and an active subscription service license.

Client

The machine running the PhotoView 360 Net Render Client. The client does not need a SOLIDWORKS license.

There are two types of offloaded rendering:

Single offloaded rendering

Sends a single static image to render on the client.

Scheduled offloaded rendering

Sends a single static image to the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler to start the task at a later time.
