KeyShot Network Rendering
Expand your rendering with ease
Render On Your Network
KeyShot Network Rendering allows you to connect multiple computer systems on one network and utilize all of your hardware to significantly and easily increase your rendering capacity and output. The power of KeyShot Network Rendering resides in enabling you to continue refining your design, adding variations, and submiting additional jobs to completely offload your visualization to the network.
How It Works
KeyShot Network Rendering consists of three roles: Clients, Manager, and Workers. The KeyShot Client application communicates internally with the Manager service and assigns the job tasks to the available Workers. The Manager can have both CPU and GPU Workers connected and will assign the tasks of a CPU or GPU render job based on the Client application’s request.
The Power of KeyShot Network Rendering
The KeyShot Network Rendering software is compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux. And like KeyShot, Network Rendering (9.1 and newer) can process jobs in both CPU and GPU mode, depending on the abilities of the connected Workers.
How Many Cores Do You Need?
CPU Jobs
When utilizing CPUs for KeyShot Network Rendering, the correlation between render time and number of cores in your network is approximately linear and inversely proportional – by doubling the number of cores you potentially cut your render time in half. The performance is dependent on your CPU specification. To obtain the best results, select high performance processors, e.g. Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper.
GPU Jobs
When utilizing GPUs for KeyShot Network Rendering, the render time can be even lower, e.g. rendering on an NVIDIA RTX GPU will be 4-6 times faster than on an Intel Core i7 CPU. You don’t need a specific license to render on the GPU. Each GPU will use up to 16 of the cores included in your KeyShot Network Rendering license. Visit the GPU Mode page in the KeyShot Manual for more information about requirements.
User Management
Manage all of the users in your organization with the ability to assign specific privileges based on role or usage. Easily add, remove or change passwords and privileges for each user all from a single screen within the user and group management system.
Worker Management
Manage your Workers, scheduling them for use at specific times or days. Set the number of cores allowed for each and see immediately what computers are allocated, with the ability to utilize computer power without KeyShot being installed.
