Screamernet Setup Tutorial - Lightwave3d 8.5 HD 720P

[quakebox]

great tutorial but unfortunately at the moment this tutorial needs refinements lightwave 10.1 is out and this tutorial is not relevant because the last step where you edited the batch file, the batch is not among program files, also the program folder has been named \bin

Also, you may want to check out TequilaScream Runner which is free and automatically opens screamnernet nodes with the correct settings without having to edit startlwsn_node.bat and doing copy and paste for every node.

Awesome! I really needed a refresher for this because im building 2 opteron servers with 16-cores/nodes total later this week just for lightwave rendering.

Thanks for this tutorial! I have 3 laptops at home running win xp with LW installed on all 3. Content will be saved on an external disc connected through USB to one of the machines.

It will be interesting to see if I can it to work, somehow sharing the drive and let the other nodes access it over a wireless connection.

great tutorial much appreciated.

Got this working on 8.5 and also used a similar setup for 9.6, however in 9.6 although it renders, it does not save the renders and node 2 says the output directory does not exist, it does exist though as I can see it with my eyes. Its right there in front of me.........
