This tutorial includes how to install Swarm onto machines without even needing Rhino installed, how to access and control the Swarm options, and how to run a distributed render managed by Swarm. Swarm provides dynamic control of multiple machines on your network to render scenes at a significantly faster rate than what can be done locally on a single computer. This tutorial covers how to use V-Ray Swarm, a distributed rendering system that allows you to render on multiple machines at once using a simple web interface. This page provides a step-by-step introduction to V-Ray Swarm for Rhino.
