Thanks for your reply, yeah I had read through the help page, but I was (still am) a bit confused.
Here’s the workflow I imagine. Project “A” is ready to render. I set it to team render in picture viewer, and in the list, turn the local machine off. Project “A” then starts to render only on the 2nd machine, allowing me to work further on project “B”, using all the CPU/GPU from the host machine. So even though I see “A” rendering in the picture viewer, it doesn’t affect the performance of the computer while working on “B”. At the end of the work day, I can simply click the host machine on in the team render list, and it will start doing its share of the render from “A” again, and I can go home feeling confident the job will be finished by the morning….
I hope this is realistic….
Regards,
Simon
