#min network stations
Question about the new network rendering features in 3DS r3:
What is the minimum needed to set up a slave station? Could you have, in
effect, a few "rack mounted" 486s, without monitors, without keyboards, etc? I
assume you would need at least the following:
– Yer basic motherboard in a box
– Lot's of RAM
– A hard drive for swapping and storing rendered images
Anything else? I guess I'm just looking at the cheapest way to set up a
dedicated rendering farm and I'd appreciate any advice from those with more
network experience than me. ( Not hard, I don't have any <g>)
