Hi, I was just wondering that am I able to build my own tinytiny render farm by linking my working pc and laptop together?
If it's possible could someone tell me how to do it and please keep it simple and stupid because I have no idea how to link them.
And oh yeah.. what equipments I need - that's all.

I think indeed there are a few of us out here without technical expertise who would benefit from some info on how to set up a renderfarm (both for pc and mac users)
I for one can add my name here and would like some info on setting up a mac renderfarm (if it can be made to work yet)

You just need to install Maxwell render on both PC's, start Maxwell server on both and Maxwell Manager on one of them.

Then start Maxwell Render and go to the network tab and click "connect".

And a crossover cable, if you haven't connected PCs before :)

And a bunch of others things like how to open the mxs model, where to put the materials and textures, and so on and on....
