Hi guys,

 

I’ve configured my Mental Ray Standalone for distributed rendering. When ray3 is launched, the master can easily render 50 times faster then the slaves can. Is this normal? Did I miss-configure something in my XSI installation or is there a problem with my network? It’s faster to render all the tiles directly on my master even though it is a pretty heavy scene. I don’t get it. Is anyone able to enlighten me?

 

Thanks.
