The company I’m working for considers buying several copies of Pixar RAT (NT
version) but there were rumors floating around that network rendering of RAT
on NT is not as stable and functional as its Irix version. Have anyone here
tested it in a small studio’s production environment with tight deadlines?
Is 10Base-T LAN okay or it’ll be a rendering pipe bottleneck?
Thanx in advance,
Alex












we have no problems with alfred on NT.
and yes a 10base network will be THE bottleneck.
(except you have only 2 machines to render on, with
very small scenes)

If you are planning to use BMRT as a rayserver on NT, it’s not implemented.
It only works on IRIX.
Otherwise, the NT version works fine for us.
