The cost is mostly in the master sending the tesselated
scene data over.

Subject: Mental Ray Standalone distributed rendering
slaves render really slow!
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.
