Network Rendering for Lightworks?

[Anonymous]

Hi there I was wondering if Lightworks engine supports network rendering.

Which render program I could move all the materials, scenes etc from archicad 9 so that I can do a network render? Is maya good? 3d max?

All this talk about render farms ... how big of an image do you require? Since you were looking at just LightWorks in the original question, I assume you don't need caustics and all of the other fancy dancy effects of C4D/Maya/etc.

Have you looked at Artlantis R? Everything from ArchiCAD goes over and even though it is not multiprocessor aware in the current version - much less network render - it is so fast that it could be worth considering. 30 day free trial - www.artlantis.com

Be aware that using certain material aspects in LightWorks and certain light settings make it render very slowly. To speed things up, see Dwight's book, available in September:

Of course you need a network render. I wouldn't suggest that Lord of the Rings be rendered in ArchiCAD or Artlantis either. Nobody denies that there are all kinds of things that require high end rendering power.

All of you guys are hijacking this thread which was a question by the user Evangelos. The question is does HIS model really require a network render?
