Procedures To use the Network Job Assignment dialog: The Network Job Assignment dialog is accessible when you turn on the Net Render toggle. The Net Render toggle can be accessed from three different dialogs used for rendering. 1 Rendering menu > Render Setup > Render Setup dialog > Render Output group 2 Rendering menu > Render To Texture > Render Setup dialog > Render Settings group 3 Video Post dialog > Execute Sequence > Execute Video Post dialog > Output group 4 In the Render Setup dialog > Render Output group, click the ellipsis button and then specify an output file name and path using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) on page 8160. The easiest way to specify a UNC path is to start with Save In > My Network Places. 5 Turn on Net Render. 6 Click the Render button. The Network Job Assignment dialog appears. 7 On the Network Job Assignment dialog, specify a job name. By default, this is the file name of the current scene. Click the plus (+) button next to the Job Name field to increment the job name. Unlike the plus button in the file dialogs, this button does not automatically launch the job. NOTE The software does not let you submit multiple jobs with the same name. 8 Determine whether to find the Manager automatically or manually. By default, the software searches automatically for the Manager using a network mask that you specify in the dialog. Alternatively, turn on Manual Search and enter the name or IP address of the computer running the Manager program. 9 Click Connect to continue. You see a listing of all servers available for network rendering. Each server is marked with a colored icon to denote its current status: 6482 | Chapter 20 Rendering
