So
what does that mean? It’s normal? I should use larger tiles to maximize the
slaves resources or once the tesselated scene data is passed, the slave keeps
it in memory for future tiles and it shouldn’t affect the speed anymore?

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

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.
