Installing and Using the Render Server

Rachel DeWitt
  • Updated

If your Render Server isn’t updating or detected by CET, reinstall it using the installer below.

Download the Render Server (6.24.28)

  1. Click the link above to download the Render Server installer (*.msi file).

  2. Save the file and run the installation. The process is quick and will automatically start the Render Server.

Once installation is complete, you should see a CET icon in the system tray (usually near the Windows clock in the bottom-right corner of your screen).

If the CET icon does not appear, you can start the Render Server manually:

  1. Press the Windows key WindowsLogoKey_87.png.

  2. Locate the CET Render Server Controller program.

  3. Double-click it to launch the Render Server. The CET icon should now appear in the notification area.

     

Using the Render Server Controller

Click the CET system tray icon to open the Render Server Controller.

Here you can:

  • Verify the Server IP: Ensure it is within the same subnet as your client(s).

  • Adjust CPU cores: Select how many cores the Render Server can use on this computer.

  • Set run behavior: Choose whether the server should always run or wait a specified time after the last user activity.

The Render Server can use significant CPU power when handling multiple render jobs. Your computer may feel slower while the server is working.

    What do I do to finish?  Do I just close the "Render Server Controller 2424.0" window?  Do I hit the "stop" button since that's the only active button?

    You can click on the red X button to minimise the window, and it will run in the background.

    However, if you wish to stop using the Render Server, you can click on the Stop button.
