Overview


V-Ray Swarm Cloud is the new V-Ray Distributed Rendering manager, the next evolution of V-Ray Distributed Rendering, offering a number of features that make rendering with V-Ray even faster. Currently, V-Ray Swarm is available in V-Ray for RevitV-Ray for Rhino, and V-Ray for SketchUpour new rendering service, offering a remote way to render your jobs extremely fast and on the go, using our dedicated cloud render farm. V-Ray Cloud is available for all 3D platforms compatible with V-Ray. Its interface is accessible by a web browser.

Note

Rendering in V-Ray Cloud is handled by V-Ray Standalone. Keep that in mind in case you are using any third-party plugins unsupported by V-Ray Standalone.

 

Rendering in V-Ray Cloud is pretty simple and straightforward. All that is required is to have installed the dedicated V-Ray Cloud application, after which you can access V-Ray Cloud's web-based interface and submit jobs to it directly from your host 3D software application. Once in the cloud, you are able to monitor the progress of your currently submitted job, queue up subsequent jobs, as well as change job settings and resubmit them without opening the scene - right from your phone. V-Ray Cloud takes rendering into the future of virtualization.

Note

V-Ray Swarm controls V-Ray Distributed Rendering on each render node machine; the actual rendering is handled by V-Ray Standalone.  

 

All that is needed to dedicate a machine as a V-Ray Distributed Rendering slave, is to install and run V-Ray Swarm on it. V-Ray Swarm discovers and adds machines for rendering, handles the installation of V-Ray Standalone builds on each machine, starts and stops the rendering process, monitors CPU, RAM, and GPU resources per system, and deploys the configuration of V-Ray on all V-Ray Swarm machines with a single click. V-Ray Swarm makes V-Ray Distributed Rendering easier than ever. 

The new features that V-Ray Swarm adds to V-Ray Distributed Rendering are:

  • Ensures every machine is rendering with the same version of V-Ray.
  • Provides the ability to monitor and manage the entire V-Ray Swarm network through a web interface. The percentage of computing power currently being used can be manually and interactively adjusted.
  • Monitors the state of each computer to make sure that V-Ray is active and ready, and restarts V-Ray if necessary.
  • Automatically discovers machines running V-Ray Swarm over the network, eliminating the need to manually input the IP address/hostname of each render slave machine.
  • Automatically or manually assigns a computer to be the one that controls and manages V-Ray Swarm on the render node machines.
Note

Each machine participating in the render job requires a V-Ray 3.0 Render Node license. This includes the workstation initiating the rendering process.

V-Ray Swarm does not provide licenses. Instead, each render node must be connected to a V-Ray Online License Server.
