All file paths under the V-Ray Swarm Executables section will be checked. First enable Super User Mode by selecting Tools > Super User Mode, and then select Tools > Configure Plugins… > VraySwarm. To ensure the Workers can find where V-Ray Swarm is installed, you can configure the VraySwarm plugin from the Deadline Monitor. This is done automatically when the Workers pick up a V-Ray Swarm job. Each Worker will still need to have V-Ray Swarm installed, but there is no need to manually start it. Traditionally, you would manually start V-Ray Swarm on each machine you would like to use before starting your render, but Deadline helps simplify the process.

This allows you to seamlessly integrate your V-Ray Swarm jobs with your other renders using Deadline! Once the V-Ray Swarm renders are done, the job can be marked as completed, which allows the Workers to move on to other jobs. Instead, it reserves the Workers so they can’t be occupied by another job, and allows them to wait for V-Ray Swarm renders to come in. Note that unlike a traditional Deadline job, it doesn’t start rendering immediately when it’s picked up by a Deadline Worker. Just pop it in the queue and the job will wait for its turn. You can queue up your V-Ray Swarm render just like any other regular job, and it will adhere to the same scheduling rules (pool, priority, etc). One of the biggest reasons to do so is if you want to use your render farm to render with other applications besides V-Ray Swarm. V-Ray Swarm works as a standalone application, so you might be asking yourself: Why would you need to use it with Deadline? It allows you to take advantage of unused computing power on your network to distribute and render small chunks of your images. Version: Deadline 9.0.7.0 and later INTRODUCTIONĭeadline supports many content creation applications, including V-Ray Swarm ®, the latest distributed rendering application from Chaos Group ®.
