Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid, but network rendering is all new to us. :p Our office is looking into buying a rack-mounted render node and setting up a network. Two things that came up while we were talking about it were:
1. If a job is set up on the main workstation and goes to render out on the node, does the main workstation also need to be running that render?
2. If not, is it possible to have a set of renders rendering to the node, and a completely different set rendering from the main workstation at the same time?
Obviously an extra Maxwell Render Node license will be bought too and we're pretty up to scratch on how everything else works. It was just that query, really.
Any help on this would be great! Thanks.
