Cinema 4D Tip: Optimizing Workflow with Team Render in Cinema 4D

Team Render in Cinema 4D is a powerful feature designed to distribute rendering tasks across multiple machines, thereby speeding up the rendering process and enhancing productivity. Whether you're working on a complex animation or a detailed 3D scene, understanding the basics of Team Render can significantly optimize your workflow. Here's a quick guide to get you started:

• Set Up Your Network:
  • Ensure all computers are connected to the same network.
  • Install the same version of Cinema 4D on all machines.
• Enable Team Render:
  • On the main workstation, go to Preferences > Renderer > Team Render and enable it.
  • On client machines, launch the Team Render Client application.
• Add Clients:
  • In the main Cinema 4D interface, open the Team Render Machines dialog.
  • Click on the Add Machine button and enter the IP address or hostname of each client machine.
  • Ensure all added clients are online and available for rendering.
• Distribute Rendering:
  • To start a Team Render, simply initiate a render using the Team Render to Picture Viewer option.
  • Cinema 4D will automatically distribute frames or buckets across the available machines.
• Monitor Progress:
  • Track the rendering progress in the Picture Viewer.
  • Review the distribution of tasks among the client machines within the Team Render Machines dialog.
