Rendering over network with different CPU power

Hi

I am wondering if Next Limit is planning to accomodate to leverage the different machine's performance when rendering with Maxwell over the network, as currently all I see right now, options for user to specify are the # of samples and the render time.

As you might have expected, specifying the render time takes precidence over the # of samples, but the resulting images of network render will be varied among PCs with different performance ... which I do not want that to happen when rendering sequence of animation.

Hi

I asked this question the other day, the solution is to use the samples rather than the time.

Thank you.

But how can I just set it so that the sample value will be just used ?
Should I set the time to render to huge amount like 10000 minutes ?

Sorry for my newbie question ...
