Distributed computing
made easy. Really.
NetWarrior is a very intuitive standalone application which automates distributed animation and co-operative still frame rendering for fryrender and Arion. Detecting your nodes, creating render jobs and seeing them squeeze all the computing resources in your network has never been this easy. NetWarrior can be downloaded free of charge from this page.
You can take a look at the version changelog here.

Easy distributed rendering.
Arion exhausts all the computing resources in your computer (CPU+GPU). NetWarrior extends that idea to all the other computers on your network, so every computing device at your disposal can be used to render more stuff in less time.
NetWarrior supports the following types of render jobs:
- Co-operative rendering for fryrender.
- Animation rendering for fryrender.
- Co-operative rendering for Arion.
- Animation rendering for Arion.
|
Basic operation is as simple as adding (or auto-detecting) your render nodes, selecting the type of job you want to render, and pressing Start. NetWarrior will take care of dispatching your jobs automatically and will make sure that all the resources in your network are used efficiently until all the tasks are finished. Detailed monitoring info will be displayed on your workstation all the way. |
Really fast animation rendering.
NetWarrior provides great comfort for all sorts of distributed rendering. However, the area where it shines the most is animation rendering with Arion.
Being able to use all the CPUs and GPUs in your network and having a manager capable of balancing the workload across your machines opens a new horizon in animation rendering.
Physically-based, unbiased-quality animation had never been practical... until now, thanks to Arion and NetWarrior.
