By the way, Autodesk does offer
a version of the 3D Studio Network
Renderer for IRIX.
-
SGI is the only Unix platform to offer this capability.
-
In case you are wondering, the 3DS Network Renderer works
great on
-
The new O2 workstation.
-
The new Octane workstation.
-
Irix 6.2, 6.4, 6.4, etc.
-
Those hot new 64-bit R10000 CPUs.
-
Isn't binary compatibility a wonderful thing!
-
The 3DS Network Renderer does have some problems on certain
configurations:
-
On XFS (or EFS for that matter) file systems with over 2GB of free
space:
-
The 32-bit code in 3DS chokes when it sees that much
free space.
-
The work around is to re-direct your output to a smaller file system;
e.g. link your
3ds4/images
directory ta
smaller file system.
-
Here is some technical information on the difference between network rendering
on IRIX and DOS.
-
Here is some technical information on using the IPAS Software Developer's Kit (SDK)
on IRIX.
Autodesk also has some tips for setting up and running the 3DS
Network Renderer:
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the network renderer does not
function with 3D
Studio Max.
Here are some links to other sites offering 3D Studio resources:
