Downloading and Installing the Render Server

Audrey Moore
  • Updated

If your Render Server no longer updates or if the Server is not being detected by CET, a reinstall is needed.
Simply download the new installer below and proceed with the installation.

Render Server (6.24.28) Download Link

Click on the link above to download the Render Server. Save the *.msi file and then install it. The installation is quick and will start the Render Server automatically. Once the installation has been completed, you will notice a little CET icon in the notification area down by the clock in the bottom right corner of your screen:

If your notification area does not display the Render Server icon, you can start it manually by pressing the WindowsLogoKey_87.png key, locating the CET Render Server Controller program, and double-clicking it. This launches the Render Server, and the CET icon should now be displayed in the notification area.

 

Clicking the tray icon brings up the Controls for the Render Server:

Here, it would be best if you made sure that the Server IP address is within the same subnet as your client(s). 

You can select how many CPU Cores the Render Server can use on your computer and whether it should always run or wait a specific time after the last user activity.

If given a large number of render jobs, the Render Server will consume a lot of computing power. Using the computer at the same time will then be slower than normal.

    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.
