LightWave 3D 2019 - Network Render Controller Setup Tutorial

Описание

This video covers the setups needed to implement network rendering with LightWave 3D 2019 (works for 2018, too) on a Windows 10 network using a domain account. There are a few ways to accomplish this, but I've found this method to be rather easy to use. With practice, the setup of the NRC system can be accomplished in a few minutes.

PART 1 - Set Up NRC Controller Workstation

1. Updating Permissions of the Newtek Folder (00:50)
2. Creating Network Share with Permissions (02:22)
3. Create ‘CONFIG’ folder for .CFG files (03:32)
4. Configure LW Content Directory Path to use Share Path (03:59)
5. Copy .CFG files from User Directory to ‘CONFIG’ folder (06:20)
6. Configure NRC Controller Paths (08:19)

PART 2 - Set Up NRC Node Workstation

2. Configure Using Windows Service Account (13:37)
3. Configure Warning Options (16:21)
4. Name Your Node (17:25)
5. Update Local Security Policy - Log On As A Service (19:19)
6. Copy Custom/Third-Party Plug-Ins to Node (23:24)

PART 3 - Prep Scenes for Network Rendering

1. Layout Scene Setup (24:36)

Special thanks to Martin Boumans and Kostia Naimark for their input and feedback.

There will be additional troubleshooting guides available later this year, so feel free to add comments with questions about this process or issues you might be encountering and I'll see what I can do to include those.
