can I run the network render from C4D ?

Hi

I watched the tutorials about launching a network rendering . But it shows with an existing maxwell scene and launched within the manager. Is it possible to launch a network rendering from C4D which in turn will launch the manager and the render nodes automatically ?

Or do I need to create the scene in C4D save the newly created maxwell scene and then launch the manager and network render that way ?

thanks

Alex

If you look at the top of a Scene Object in the Attribute Manager, you should find a blue Export to Network button; there is also a corresponding button in the plugin's menu, which is enabled and operates on the active Scene Object, if one is active. Clicking one of these will write the MXS file, start the Network Manager and Node (if they aren't already running), and open the Network Monitor, ready for you to finish setting up the job in its Add Network Job wizard.
