Distributed rendering for animation

Maybe these ones can help a bit:

It should be very much simple.
1. Create the shared folder on the server, that all machines could read/write permission
2. on each machine run Distributed Render which is pointed to the folder on server
(ps: I put Distributed Render in startup for all our computers with microstation on them, that way I am sure that distributed render runs on all machines).
3. before render on your machine: tick - use distributed render before visualisation render starts.
Sit and wait :-)

There are few things that you may change within the Distributed Render, but for general purpose leave all in default settings.

Good luck

Ok, we did manage to finally get the distributed rendering to work, but now I have another issue with the Process Controller for Distributed Rendering program. I can launch this program just fine, but when I try to launch the Scheduler nothing happens. The Job Monitor launches correctly and the window pops up, but the Scheduler window goes into a permanent minimized state that won't pop up no matter what I try. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Microstation and the Visualization Content, but that didn't help. Any ideas as to what is causing this behavior? The scheduler works on our other workstations just fine.

Thanks,
Kevin
