Getting Started

What is ButterflyNetRender™?

ButterflyNetRender is a network rendering controller for Lightwave 3D,
Maya (In the Professional Version), 3DS Max and more...
 

    ButterflyNetRender™ works with 2 applications:
    The BNR Controller and the BNR Client.

The BNR Controller manages and distributes the scenes to be rendered.

The BNR Client renders scenes as instructed by the controller.

ButterflyNetRender will run on Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, WindowsXP, WindowsNT, Windows2000, Windows98, and WindowsME and the BNR Clients will also run under OSX and Linux.

Please check system requirements.

Features:
 
ButterflyNetRender includes a Automatic Setup LightWave 3D wizard which
really takes the pain out of setting up LightWave Screamernet.

The Studio and Professional versions includes node Grouping, Priority and Split
Frames (you can speed up rendering time for a frame by distributing it across
more than 1 rendernode)

The Studio versions also include unlimited render nodes and the Custom batch
commands, which will let you control any command line console executable.
