Install mental ray for Maya satellite
Overview of mental ray (satellite)
mental ray for Maya supports a different form of network rendering: mental
ray satellite rendering. The new network rendering capability, based on mental
ray satellite technology, allows you to install a version of mental ray (satellite)
on any networked computer. This special version of mental ray resides on
that machine and waits for rendering tasks from Maya. It supplements the
mental ray rendering capabilities in Maya with the additional rendering power
provided by the networked computers CPUs.
A mental ray distributed rendering can speed up all of the following tasks:
interactive rendering (through the Maya interface)
IPR rendering with mental ray for Maya
interactive batch rendering (a batch render started by Maya)
command-line rendering
