Qmaster? distributing rendering across multiple macs on a network
has any one done this successfully? I keep hearing it is possible but in all the forums I’ve seen, no one actually has done it successfully.

Hello!
Yes, I’ve gotten it to work and have used it many, many times. Of course, as I’m sure you have discovered, there are a lot of little tricks.
I’ve been planning on putting together a tutorial for this and this seems like a good kick in the butt to start!
I will keep this post updated with results.

Does QMaster still have ISSUES? Even when setting the cores to half of on a local computer, I found that QMaster was pretty much horrible, buggy and always froze up even on just one multicore machine. It was okay when it worked as it should.

A little past 6, but still in the ballpark….;~)
Just keep in mind that this was done very quickly and I made it as thorough as possible. Feel free to get in touch with me and I will try to answer any questions I can. Hopefully this helps.
Also, if anyone spots errors or something I’ve missed or would be helpful, don’t hesitate to write it up!
Enjoy and please post feedback.
