Network Rendering

Hi again subby...

a thought just popped into my mind...

rendering animation over the netrender is a pain... any idea on how to ease this through SR maybe?

Don't know what Vray Spawner is, but rendering with a renderfarm tends to create artefacts and flickering. rendering out the maps in advance for animation would be great, and to make this work perfectly with say 20 different renders.

Would the solution be as simple as 1 machine rendering out the light cache and Irridance map to a network path?

Right now, we're not using Vray for animated geometry since it takes too many hours to render and\or set up.

Optimally a preset for both flythrough animation of static geometry, and for animated lights\geometry.

For a clearer picture, I render Dreamscape sea, and oilrigs, including most of the equipment, my current scene is 640 000 polygons aprox. the sea is animated, and hopefully so will the oilrig. And yes we're using backburner, is there something better i havent heard of?
