To use Keyshot Network Rendering follow the instruction in the video below or follow the steps shown below the video.
Remember that network rendering DOES NOT usually mean faster rendering for your projects!!! Network rendering will allow you submit a render job and then logout and see the results later.
Quick Instructions—
You must be a memeber of the "keyshot" group. Members of the 210 and 310 class have been added. Others need to contact us to get added. In the keyshot groups folder create a folder for your completed renderings. Please name the folder so it is easily identifiable as yours.
When sending a render job to the network rendering system, in the output section be sure to set the output folder path correctly to—
\\fs-caedm.et.byu.edu\homes\groups\keyshot\your_folder name
example: \\fs-caedm.et.byu.edu\homes\groups\keyshot\brighamYoung
Next, the the options section be sure to select "Send to Network"
Now you can submit the job by hitting the Send to Network button at the bottom right of the render window.
Once the job is submitted, you can use the Keyshot Network Render Monitor to view the progress if desired.
Find the finished image in your folder in the the keyshot group folder.
