Backburner for Managing and Monitoring Only
You can install Autodesk Backburner on a machine without 3ds Max or 3ds
Max Design. However, such an installation of Autodesk Backburner cannot
be used for rendering. You can use this machine only to manage or monitor
jobs. Although the Autodesk Backburner server can be installed on a single
machine, it will not do anything; it will work only if it detects a supported
program such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk 3ds Max Design, Autodesk
Flame, or Autodesk Smoke. This means that you must have Autodesk
Backburner installed with at least one additional Autodesk product for a
machine in your configuration to be capable of rendering.
Tools and Utilities
The following table summarizes the optional installs available from the 3ds
