Maxwell Render 2.5 User Manual

Chapter 11. The Network System | 85

You can choose to start the Manager, a Render Node or the Monitor on a computer by

clicking on the appropriate shortcut (mx_manager, mx_node, mx_monitor). Please note

that a computer that runs the Manager and/ or the Monitor can also be used as a Render

Node at the same time. The Maxwell network can render across a mixed network of

computers running Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It is also possible to start the Manager, Render Node or Monitor through the command

line, using:

• mxnetwork –manager

• mxnetwork –node

• mxnetwork –monitor

• Type in mxnetwork –help for more information about advanced command line ags to

connect a Render Node or a Monitor to a specic Manager if there is more than one

in the same network

Only one instance of each type (manager/ monitor/ node) can run in the same machine at

the same time. It is not possible to run two Monitors, two Managers or two Render Nodes

in the same machine simultaneously.

11.02 The Manager

The Manager of the render farm is responsible for managing the render queue and

distributing jobs in the network. The Manager interface will display information about the

status of the network, any new events such as a render node connecting, and render-

and merging information. It is constantly communicating with the Render Nodes and

Monitor(s) in the network.

To start the Manager, click on the mx_manager shortcut.

11.03 The Render Nodes

The Render Nodes are the computers that actually render the frames. To add a computer

as a Render Node to the network, double-click on the mx_node shortcut. The node

interface will display information about the status of the render.

You can only run Maxwell Render in network if you have more than one license, for

example 2 Standard licenses or 1 Standard license and 1 RenderNode. You can then use

the Standard license to run your main machine, where you set up your scenes and the

Manager to distribute jobs. The RenderNode license can be used to run an additional

machine for rendering only. Always make sure that all the machines in your network have

access to the Maxwell installation folder where your license le is located.
