To Use the Batch Render Tool with Backburner: Overall Workflow

Before attempting to use the Batch Render tool with Backburner for network rendering, make sure the Backburner Manager is running on your managing workstation and that Backburner Server is running on all the other workstations that will receive the rendering assignments.

For more information on setting up Backburner Network Rendering, refer to "Network Rendering."

1. Set up a series of rendering tasks in the Batch Render queue.
2. Turn on Net Render and then click the Render button.

   The Network Job Assignment dialog opens.

3. Enter a subnet mask, or, with Automatic Search off, enter the Manager name or IP address, and then click Connect.

   The available rendering servers show up in the list on the right side of the Network Job Assignment dialog.

4. Click the Submit button to send all the Batch Render camera tasks to Backburner for network rendering to all the workstations that are running Backburner Server.

   If you are running the Backburner Queue Monitor, you'll see all the camera tasks listed as rendering jobs in the Job section of the Queue Monitor.
