Maxwell Render 2.5 User Manual

Chapter 11. The Network System | 86

11.04 The Monitor

To start the Monitor on any of the computers connected to the network, click on the

mx_monitor shortcut.

The Monitor interface has several elements:

F.01 The Monitor

11.04.01 The Menu bar

File:

• Preferences: This is a Preferences panel. You can choose which TCP port the Monitor

should use for the network rendering and you can also specify the maximum number

of nodes that should be used for network rendering. The TCP port setting is useful

for networks that block certain ports. You can force any node to work always in Low

or Normal priority, or to share a desired number of threads. You can also start the

Manager and Render Node hidden in tray if you prefer.

Important: It is strongly recommended that you do not change the Port Range value

unless you are an expert network administrator. It is critical that all the machines in the

Maxwell Render network are using the same port, otherwise the system will not work

properly.

• Open temp folder: Opens the temporary folder of the Maxwell Render network

where all the temporary les of the render jobs are stored.

• Purge temp les: Use this option to delete all the temporary les on this computer.

The temporary les are purged automatically when a render job has nished.

• Remove nished jobs: Clear all the completed network renders from the Jobs

panel.

• Clear console: Clear the messages in the Console panel.

Jobs:

From here you can add, stop or remove selected jobs. You can edit a job to change the

target Sampling Level or Time during the render.

You can increase or decrease the priority of a certain job, include a new extra node into a

certain job, or release a node from a certain job.

You can also preview a selected job while rendering, remove all the nished jobs and open

the output folder.

Nodes:

From here you can group/ungroup several nodes into one entity to easily assign different

tasks to different groups. You can also reset a pending node, or kill a node when you need

to free that computer for other tasks, and you can reset all the nodes if you need to.
