Using Linux for Vue network rendering
10/08/06 Filed in: Graphics
I have run 4.22 Rendercows of the 3d software Vue Esprit using Wine on knoppix. I saved the Rendercows on USB pen drives and just boot the systems off of a Knoppix CD. The computers don't even have hard drives... just memory, CDROM and the oh so tasty CPU. This should make for cheapy rendercows.
You should be able to boot those additional render cows using only the pen drive (if the motherboard supports it) or off of PXE bootable ethernet cards (ideal if the motherboard has these built-in). For under a grand you would be able to build an ok x4 RenderCowBarn (well I guess adding power supplies and cooling might make it a little more than a grand.)
