Hello Everyone,
Thank You for taking an interest in this matter, I am a Beginner
I am trying to set up a functional render farm that will take the pressure off my Laptop.
I have acquired two BOXX 10200 units. Both units have 16 Giga bits of Ram. 2.5 GHz processor with ATI ES 1000 graphics card, not horrible. I have read that for rendering the processor and ram is used so the graphics card is okay for now.
These units can use some upgrading but they are alight for now. What I would like is to Setup a render farm with Maya 2014( student version) and Mental Ray. I have installed Windows 7 pro for easier management. They are all hooked by a KMV switch and connected to a 8 port Giga bit Ethernet switch so that I can access each computer by entering the windows password. I am hoping you might help me out in the next steps to get it to work.
