I've googled this a lot
RFTM'd a manual that is incredibly sparse
I have a master controller setup
it sees 2 other macs as render nodes ok
thats it. can't network render.
error messages are typically about not being able to read or write local volume on render master.
I've tried adding SMB://render_machine_IP/Volumes/local drive path to the saver path
I've tried adding SMB://render_machine_IP/Volumes/local drive path to the loader path
I've tried turning on reverse lookup with slightly different error messages
I don't have a single windows machine here so drive letters and stuff about UNC are meaningless to me.
I've tried mounting locally the network volumes holding everything
I"ve read some cryptic "use PathMap" suggestions - WHERE ? render node ? Comping machine local comp prefs or master prefs ? and WHAT needs to be changed and HOW ? just some reasonable clue here would go along way never mind anything more specific.
not to be upset at anyone here but the docs are useless, and several posts I found here are equally short on any useful details to make anything work... why should this be so hard or even require any manual config when its clear the machines all see each other and talk... so what is so hard for the software to append whatever network SMB://Whatever It Needs automatically ? its what computers are good at doing !
sorry just need to get it working without spending a week on it....
TIA
