network render single frame?

[kenney001]

I have successfully set up backburner on 3 of my computers, but it seemsd to want to render only animation frames, but not all work together on one single frame.

What setting do i need to change? I want to use default renderer and/or mental ray to work jointly to do this.

Wait, you can use multiple computers to render stuff faster?

lmfao, yes, you can.

though i think you can't have multiple computers work on 1 frame.
and if you HAVE to to do that at all, then you're doing something wrong, and need to optimise your renderscene

[kenney001]

yes you can. They do that at my school in the design classes.

Its not a matter of me doing something wrong, its just for convenience. For example: a complicated clay render at 1280 takes a while...

Ouch.

What do you think these things are?

The thing on the left is a single slot GPU, the thing in the middle is a couple of server racks, and the thing on the right is a multi-GPU solution.
