<div class="PlainText">Hi James,<br>
<br>
I think this mailing list is the right place, so if you've got any<br>
specific questions or proposals go ahead.<br>
<br>
The code and some rough ideas about our own network rendering<br>
implementation in Cycles are here. I'm not sure if Lukas has a newer<br>
version of the network code somewhere?<br>

<a href="https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/intern/cycles/app/cycles_server.cpp">https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/intern/cycles/app/cycles_server.cpp</a><br>
<a href="https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Render/Cycles/Network_Render">https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Render/Cycles/Network_Render</a><br>
<br>
As I said before, it's not entirely clear to me what will be the best<br>
place to integrate a network addon that can support viewport<br>
rendering. Other renderers that support this normally have it built<br>
in, probably because it requires a quite tight coupling to the<br>
internal logic of the renderer.<br>
<br>
It may be possible to create your own version of cycles_server that<br>
would understand the network protocol and would contain your logic to<br>
discover other machines, distribute the work, etc. Other machines<br>
could contain a vanilla cycles_servers to do the actual rendering. One<br>
way or the other I expect we'll want to have some of the same logic<br>
built into Cycles itself though, I think we want Cycles network<br>
rendering to be really usable also without any addons.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Brecht.<br>
