Rendering question

zoe01

Hi friends.

Few questions about rendering:

a. I know that Daz products are stored locally and cannot be moved from one machine to another just by sending a scene like in Maya for instance, but is there a way to transfer a render job to a remote server or render farm in some way?

b. If the answer to the above is "No" - what would be an optimal render solution for large animation sequences? I guess that I am not the first one to produce such sequences and I find it hard to believe that all Daz users use only their local machine and nothing more for this purpose.

If there is a solution to my needs, please let me know about relevant documtation.

Thanks in advance!

You could share the daz product library between computers (at least on local network) by putting them somewhere accessible via a network.

For example, my laptop gpu have more vram so i use it for render. so I make the partition that my Daz library is installed on shared with the local network, (i think the process goes something like: desktop: this pc->right click on partition->property->sharing->advanced sharing->share this folder, also permissions->allow read and write, then on my laptop (this pc->network ->find desktop->find partition->right click->map network drive and add the folder in daz). Then you can open any file saved on the shared drive. 

There is also iray server that is the professional product for remote rendering, but that cost money.
