if i launch , for example, a 8h render on two machines what do i get?
1) a 4 h for each machine
2) a 16 h render done in 8 hours?
sorry for the trivial question

since nobody answer i presume the question was too much stupid ....then i presume i will get a 4h render for each pc...
another question ... is is possibile seeing the render in the consolle while processing and adjust parameters like in normal render?

no .. you will have to wait 8 hours with both machines and the resul is not a 16 hour render, is something like a mix of the two images, but yes, the final image is better than using only one machine, but dont expect the same result as a 16 hour render. :wink:

Not everytime,
If you render a animation, each machine can render a frame in a single process, so you can divide the time by the numbers of machines....ok not absolute (network & preparation like reading mxs & voxelisation will delay) but that´s a general habit of networkrendering.
