The Network Job Assignment dialog appears.
7 In the Options group, turn on Split Scan Lines, and then click Define.
The Strips Setup dialog appears. The dialog displays the output resolution,
and lets you determine how to split up the rendering job by specifying
the number of horizontal strips into which the image will be subdivided.
8 Specify the vertical size of each strip in pixels or as a percentage of the
total image height, or set the number of strips. Changing one also changes
the other.
9 Set the overlap in pixels or as a percentage.
Using overlap isn't always necessary, but if you notice anomalies where
the strips meet, increase this value.
10 Connect to the manager, specify a job name, choose one or more servers
on which to render, and then click Submit.
The job is sent to the network rendering manager, which supervises the
network rendering job. The job consists of first rendering each slice, and
then combining, or “stitching,” the slices into the final image.
11 Monitor the job via the Backburner Monitor. See “Monitoring and
Managing Jobs” in the Autodesk Backburner User’s Guide.
Rendering and stitching passes are designated “Slice Pass” and “Stitch
Pass,” respectively. When all slices are finished, the job status will be
Complete.
