Once Team Render is set up as above, use the 'Team Render to Picture Viewer' option from the Render menu.

Using Team Render to render a single image To do this, Open the Team Render Client interface on your Rendering nodes and click on the console tab to check the status. You can check on the client machines to see if Corona has been successfully activated.

Activating Corona 8 or newer on farms and computers without host software GUI.

Activating Corona Renderer 7 (and older) for Cinema 4D.

To activate Corona follow the instructions provided in any of the following guides: Once all your machines are set up, you will need to ensure that Corona has been activated on all machines that will be used for Team Render. If any plugins are being used in the render, they must also be installed on all computers (Master and Rendering nodes).Īctivating Corona using the Licensing Server Mix-matching versions will result in an error. All instances of Corona must be the same. Note: Master and Rendering node PCs must all use the same version of Cinema 4D, for example, S26. You may need to verify the machines on the list and enter the security token for that machine (and sometimes you may need to Unverify then Verify the machine) Machines can be added to this list automatically or manually ( see Cinema 4D help for full details). Once enabled, check that the Machine List is as expected (under Render -> Team Render Machines). For machines that will act as clients, run the Cinema 4D Clientģ. In Cinema 4D, enable Team Render by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Renderer -> Team Render, and check 'Enable Team Render'Ģ. A summary of the steps is provided below, but full information is available from Maxon through the Cinema 4D help, and many tutorials can be found online (like one of the official Cineversity tutorials: Cinema 4D Team Render, Basic Introduction.)ġ.

Setting up Team Render follows the standard processes for Cinema 4D. It can be used in two ways, either where multiple machines contribute to rendering the same single image, or where different images are handed out to individual machines for rendering (this second option is used when rendering animations, for example, where each machine will work on a different frame).

How to use Team Render (Distributed Rendering in C4D)?Ĭorona for Cinema 4D uses the native Cinema 4D Team Render to handle distributed or networked rendering.
